Ok, maybe i was too brief with the explanation. It's based on the story of loyalty of a dog and it's master, but reversed with Faunus. There are tins of stories out there like that.

The boy and the Faunus girl were childhood friends. They did everything togethter. But she was something he was not. Brave and empathetic to Faunus inequality He had good opinions on Faunus too, but was never brave enough to fight for them himself. She joined the WHite Fang before they changed leaders as an active protestor, like Blake. There was a incident at one of those protests and she went missing along with a few Faunus under mysterious circumstance.

Now here's where it builds the character's backstory. He was devestated at the lost of a best friend. He blamed the inequality for her disappearance and became resolved to make a change. But in order to do that, he wanted to know what it was like to see it first hand. He decided to wear dog ears to do that. It was like a charm of sorts, that it gave him courage and to be more like her. Loyal, brave, etc. But he had to privately learn the behaviors of Faunus to better blend in. But of course the disguise isn't always perfect if someone were to carefully inspect. Most don't look into it that carefully. He would go to a school to become a Huntsman because he thought that was the fastest way to make a change. But he also realizes not everyone is prejudice, so he does not act hostile per say.
