"Hmm. Well, to answer your first question. Diamond dogs are a bit like you. In that, they can walk bipedally, or on all fours if need be, and are canine-like in nature. They have paws which are quite similar to your hands, but also claws, which they use to dig tunnels for their homes. They are commonly burrowing creatures, and they spend much of their time underground, usually in search of precious gems. Hence the name 'Diamond' dogs, and before you ask, yes, they can talk like you and I." she nodded, finishing yet another lecture. Watch out Twilight I may have to find my own pupil at this rate! Though Atchmon has been quite the good student.
