Dog-Boy/Girl

This feat is available only at character creation. It indicates that the character spent a considerable part of the character's childhood as a caretaker of canines, living and working with them 24 hours a day.

A character with this feat can raise a puppy from the age of about six weeks, training it to perform virtually any task a dog can perform. Such animals are assumed to be loyal and will defend their trainer to their death.

For strange canines the character is granted a +10% reaction bonus, (+2 on a d20.) If the character is able to work with the strange canine for several weeks the strange canine will become trainable, but loyalty cannot be assumed.
