Dog

You know, I once heard a really old legend about how the Hound Warriors would feed their Mabari the flesh of the vanquished

Ah Alistair and the Dog (Which I named Lucky). Those two make me laugh, because Alistair, actually has conversations with the mutt. At the beginning it seems he is scared of him, but then he takes him as one of his companions, knowing that the Dog has his back in battle, in the and he is the mabari and that means a war dog.

Dialogues:

Alistair: Just how smart are mabari supposed to be, anyway? Do you think they understand everything we say?
Dog: (Conversational barking)
Alistair: Oh, is that so? You could just be listening to the tone of my voice. You could be an utter moron, for all we know.
Dog: (Angry growl)
Alistair: Hey, now. There's nothing saying that a moron can't be cute and adorable. Who's the cute and adorable puppy?
Dog: (Happy Barking)
Alistair: Ah, Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? That's what the Chantry kept telling me, anyhow.

Alistair: Do you really know what's going on here? The Blight, the civil war... I really wonder how much of it you understand.
Dog: (He wags tail happily.)
Alistair: We're all special... big parts to play. Even you. Especially you, in some ways. You are the mabari. You guard one of the most important people--
Dog: (Excited Bark)
Alistair: What?
Dog: (Excited barking!)
Alistair: You... you want to play? But I'm talking. Why doesn't anyone want to hear me talk?
