So, instead of yapping, I'm going to leave a little definition here for you. It's a little tidbit of information regarding the type of black dog I decided to assign him. Generally, they are associated with death and all things malevolent, seeing as they are hellhounds. However, I didn't feel that fit. We're going with this one instead.

Guardian Black Dogs:

'Guardian Black Dogs refer to those relatively rare black dogs that are neither omens of death nor causes of it. Instead they guide lost travellers and protect them from danger. Stories of this type became more widespread starting around the early 1900s. In different versions of one popular tale a man was journeying along a lonely forest road at night when a large black dog appeared at his side and remained there until the man left the forest. On his return journey through the wood the dog reappeared and did the same as before. Years later two convicted prisoners told the chaplain that they would have robbed and murdered the wayfarer in the forest that night but were intimidated by the presence of the black dog.'

Gurt Dog:

'The Gurt Dog ("Great Dog") of Somerset is an example of a benevolent dog. It is said that mothers would allow their children to play unsupervised on the Quantock Hills because they believed the Gurt Dog would protect them. It would also accompany lone travelers in the area, acting as a protector and guide.'

With those tidbits in mind...

Enjoy.
