Summary: D is for dogs.

-

D is for the dogs raised in the kennels at Jesslaw. As a gift to his former squire on the day of his knighting, Lord Wyldon had selected two of his best breeding mastiffs, chosen for their temperament, their colouring, and of course their bloodlines. Owen had been as pleased as could be, swearing up and down to raise these dogs to the standards of Cavall.

When he asks Kel if she has any advice, she is forced to admit that she knows nothing of dogs; but later, when one of the mastiffs rests his head in her lap and gazes at her with big, sad eyes, she thinks that she may have to start learning.
