Dog

Source Monster Core pg. 102
Dogs are trusted and loyal companions that serve as guardians, tracking animals, and pets. Their ability to detect prey or predators via scent and their predilection to accompany humanoids makes them ideal pets for most adventurers. There are hundreds of breeds of dogs in the world—from tiny lapdogs who shower their masters in affection to brawny hounds that stand nearly 4 feet high at the shoulder—and they can be found in nearly any place where people reside. Larger breeds might even be used as mounts for smaller adventurers, and some cultures use dogs as beasts of burden capable of pulling sleds loaded with supplies across the icy tundra. Regardless, many adventurers find value in having a dog.

Sidebar - Advice and Rules Rabies

Many societies adore dogs and value them for their loyalty as pets. For such pet owners, there's perhaps no affliction more horrible than rabies. While many animals can be stricken with this debilitating illness, the idea of a loyal family pet growing feral and violent makes it all the more feared.
