This guy near me keeps calling me something along these lines due to my relationship with canines (Actually it is quite incredible, 15 years of running with the pack and never been bitten, etc. And this stray keeps bringing me dead birds and rats
Also... Dogs are my life, I like them much more than people, and have never lived in a place unfriedly to them. They are as much a part of my life as breathing.)
Other than that... Nope, never really studied into therian beliefs. Who knows, there?
