I’m going to hold your hand whilst I say this,,we’re probably not getting a dog themed prime asset.

Firstly, this is down to a matter of charisma. The Primes were sought out for their abilities as “thought leaders”, or people who could influence a group easily. Dogs, in a thematic sense, are followers. They’re associated with subservience and loyalty- neither of which are traits that make up a good Prime Asset. Yes, there is the fraudulent idea of the “Alpha Wolf”, but then we’re no longer abiding by the nuclear family archetypes.

Secondly, we’ve already had two characters pinpointed as our dogs; Clyde Perry was Easterman’s “Nasty Little Bloodhound”, and the reagents are now associated with dogs too (“I don’t doubt they would all be rutting like dogs.”). In terms of the family, we’re the pet, we’re the animal that’s been brought into the household and needs to be trained through discipline and reward. Even the choice of Chemical impotence alludes to this; GnRH agonist is often used as a temporary chemical-sterilisation method for dogs. It targets hormones, reducing production of Testosterone in males, and Estrogen in females, therefore causing temporary infertility in both sexes (at the very least, I suppose it means canonically reagents don’t have to worry about having their period during a trial?).

I have my own qualms with both parties being referred to as dogs, and how it somehow ties Clyde to the Reagents in a way I don’t believe the writers intended (with Clyde’s comparison coming from a place of devotion and violence, whereas the Reagent’s comparison coming from a place of masculinity and sexuality), but it exists and solidifies to me that it’s highly unlikely we will get a dog themed prime asset anytime in the future. There’s potential for a specialist Ex-Pop, but not a prime.

Then again, the writing and creative choices these last two seasons has been repetitive at best, and downright shock value or frustrating at worst (see the recent easterman documents, or the confirmation of “sister” Liliya as the Aunt of the family archetypes). So for all I know I could be entirely wrong.
