"The Lords allow shepherds use of one of their Wolves every once in a while, when they get a dog.  It's better for us both if there is something to warn us of each other before we have a time to meet when protecting a herd - or when hunting for food.  When in wolf form, they don't really know better I don't think, though I really can't say.  But they know to stay away from prey when there are dogs barking and," she raised her staff off of her lap, letting the bell ring, "When they hear bells ringing."  She gave a small smile, petting her dog again, "But Boyo is very smart, and he does know his manners.  I'm glad he's not barking in this crowd like he would on the field.  Yes, good dog, Boyo.  Good."  She smiled and praised her companion and pet.  While he seemed happy for it, he didn't take his eyes off of the Wolf.
