Dogs are domesticated versions of wolves found in the wild. They are often called "man's best friend" due to their loyalty, which rivals many humanoids. They will always follow the orders of those that take care of them, and they are great companions to have for emotional support. They are usually kept as pets by humanoids and easily lift the spirits of those around them. Another key aspect of dogs is their diversity, as there are hundreds of breeds of dogs living in the Material Plane. The most popular tend to be large dogs used for hunting. |
