Thor nodded, and a smile came to his lips. "Yes, we have canines of a similar look- though to the larger breeds, not the rodent-dogs of the Midgardian fancy ladies. They are much larger in size and are used for protection and hunting and are very loyal beasts. There are many that roam the grounds, and they were excellent company. Likewise, there are many felines that keep the grounds free of rodents."

(ooc: Would you be terribly offended if I borrowed from the comics that he can talk to animals? Because it's just something so weird of Thor that I totally fell in love with it. XD)
