Dogs are a domestic subspecies of wolves. They have been bred by humans across the world for a variety of roles, such as pets, guards or hunting companions.
History
In ancient Greece, the philosopher Pythagoras asked a man to stop beating a dog, claiming he could hear the voice of an old friend in its cries. This amazed the crowd watching him, as it appeared to prove his belief in reincarnation. Later, he cast out his disciple Alcmaeon for torturing a dog.[1]
Guards in the Thirteen Colonies used dogs to guard treasure chests, as well as sniff out enemies like the Assassin Connor. Even when using Wolf Cloak in an alternate reality, guard dogs were still capable of detecting him. To combat this, Connor could lure them away by using hunting bait and killing them.[2]
Trivia
- Connor is an Irish name meaning "lover of hounds."
- Guards in New York City will ignore their dogs barking at Connor if he is incognito and behaving in a low profile manner.
