There's a reason there are so many small dogs on medieval manuscripts as well as the fancy hunting dog kind. The little dishrags were USEFUL. Got a field beset with rabbits or crows eating your barleycorn? Leave it to Mister Waggins, he'll run around and bark at them all day. Rats in the hay in the cow barn? Spotsbitche has got you covered. Hedgecreeper trying your doorhandle in the dead of night looking for things to steal? Floppy Tom will let you know.
All hail the humble yap-rat. ...You just have to remember what they were bred to DO.
