It seems that having small, sentient companions is rather common here on Earth. Can someone explain why so many people seem to want and/or have them? Especially when they are incredibly small and seem to serve no purpose in terms of protection or strength?

( This isn't exactly an answer. In that Gwen doesn't supply an answer, just-

Putin Onaritz, affectionately known as Putinka, weighs two hundred fucking pounds and comes from two eastern european dog breeds - one of which was bred to fight bears and one of which was crossbred from wolves. He is twice his diminutive owner's size, shaggy-coated, muscular af and has a face that really is suspiciously wolfish in its features, and when she points the camera at him, he wags his tail.

More accurately, he thumps his tail against the floor. There is a perceptible thud involved. )

Say hello to the nice lady, baby.

( He barks. )

[The video gives Jyn pause, though she watches with some delighted interested. She debates whether to switch to video but opts to stick with audio, for now.]

That's a large creature you've got there. That - that is one of Earth's dogs? I've heard there are many different kinds here.

( Point made, Gwen switches to voice as well. )

He's mostly dog. There's a bit of wolf in there, as well, somewhere on the Czech side - he's a crossbreed, ovcharka and vlcak, he's from my stepmother's ovcharka's only breeding before he got the snip.

I'm .. afraid I don't know what many of those words mean. Czech? Ov-- ovchakara? I'll stop myself from attempting to repeat anything else, so I don't risk offending you.
