by Anlaf, the legendary Mabari war hound.
(Some of my favourite Mabari screenshots.)

“Ho there, Duncan!” “King Cailan? I didn’t expect–” “A royal welcome? I was beginning to worry you’d miss all the fun!” “Not if I could help it, your Majesty.”

"That is our way; I trust my hound with my life, as he trusts me with his." I have a mabari hound of my own. "Then you are most fortunate."

“Hmmm. This isn’t good. I’d hate to waste such a promising member of the breed. Are you the new Warden? I could use some help.” What’s the problem? “This is a mabari. Smart breed, and strong. His owner died in the last battle, and the poor hound swallowed darkspawn blood.”
We didn't find mommy's big bro, but we find me big bro! No, not that Alidoggy, is that doggy doggy. Me bro ill and his pawrent gone like me pack. :"(

(The dog looks up at you respectfully, backing down from his aggressive stance. You can see intelligence in his eyes, as well as a great deal of pain. This animal is very ill.)

“I once heard a really old legend about how the Hound Warriors, in the days of the old tribes, would feed their mabari the flesh of the vanquished.” (Whines) “Well, that’s what I heard anyway. It would sometimes be human flesh.” (Gagging noises, heaving) “Oh, like you can tell the difference. For all you know, maybe you’re already been fed something… *someone*.” (Scared whimper) I’d never feed you another human being. “It’s not cannibalism if *he’s* eating it, you know.” (Low, angry growl)
Alidoggy scare me. Me unhappy, mommy unhappy. But mommy give me a lot lofs and yummy crunchs, so me not mind Alidoggy, me good boi.

(Anlaf wags his tail and looks at Sten.) “… yes, it is good to have my sword at my side again. I call her Asala–the soul, my soul. She is forged from rare blue steel, and has served me faithfully for many years.” (He sits down and watches Sten attentively.) “Yes, you understand what it is like to have a weapon that is part of you. Few others do.”
Dis me favourite fellow male member of me new pack. He share me yummy cookies he get from a human puppy. (Sten) "For his own good." :D

"You are a handsome canine specimen, aren`t you? Yes, you are. Oh, but look at that tiny stubby tail. Would you like a nicer tail? I could give you a long, swishy tail, if you liked. Just a wave of wand and poof! Tail. You`ll adore it, I promise. Or maybe you would like to be a different color? We could spice up that drab brown with some red, or blue. Perhaps even violet. Wardogs need to be pretty too, don`t they? Yes, you want to be pretty, pretty dog. That`s right, you just love attention, don`t you? And you want antlers. A big swishy tail and ant--hey! He... he made off with my staff! Perhaps I underestimated his intelligence."
"Your dog is filthy. I can smell him fifty yards off." (Hurt whine)
Me lof me new granny Wynne. But me not lof bath and antlers and big swishy tail, me perfect! Mommy say me perfect just need a bath… Hey!
“Excellent! I will get my soaps, and the dog shall have his bath after supper!” (Whimpers)

“Ugh. Look at what your fool dog placed in my pack.” (He wags his tail.) “A putrid half-eaten hare is not something a woman wants to find in her unmentionables.” I think he thinks you need more meat on your bones. “I think I have enough meat where it counts. And I certainly don’t need it in my pack."
Me share me dinner with auntie Meowrrigan. Me good boi. She's so happy and show off to mommy. :D

"The dirty mongrel can have this back. There! And tell him not to do it again.” It was a gift. You can’t just throw it away like that. “I just did.” (Whines) “I don’t want it, you worthless furbag!” (Whines sadly)
That dog is too smart for his own good. “He is certainly manipulative. I can tell. I do it too.”
or
I think you hurt his feelings. “(Scoffs) He is just trying to be manipulative. I can tell. I do it too.”
See! Auntie Meowrrigan know me so well. :D

Flemeth once told me that temptation lies in the forbidden.
When auntie Meowrrigan disappeared, me go find her.

“Do not follow me,” I said, yet you search even so. Some doors should never be re-opened.
Look at me new kaddis!
Deviantart | Tumblr
(Whines) You remember this place, don’t you, boy? It’s been so long.
Mommy say me even cuter with me kaddis. Like me just played in flours with me nuggie bro Schmooples and me catto bestie Ser Pounce-a-lot. Mommy just don't understand doggy fashion. :]
