Dragon Age - The Importance of Dogs

BioWare has an update for Dragon Age titled The Importance of Dogs:

I am frequently asked, during my travels in foreign lands, to explain the omnipresence of dogs in Ferelden. In every civilized corner of Thedas, an astute observer will note that dogs are employed in hunting game, keeping barns and storehouses free of vermin, herding livestock, guarding homes, and in the mountains they are even used as beasts of burden. It is simply that Fereldans show appreciation for the work that their dogs do. And perhaps the reason for that is tangled up in mythology.

More information.

Dogs sure are cute pets.

Oh, I absolutely love dogs. They are superior to every other mammal on this planet.

Kind of dorky, but dog lovers will understand this; a guy comes home from the Iraq war after 14 months and his dogs are going nuts...

Thanks for that. It was just the shot I needed.

I have cats, and in that situation they would have been demanding to be fed immediately! Cats definitely aren't dogs (but they have their own way of being cool too).

When it comes to keeping barns and storehouses free of vermin, cats are definitely superior to dogs!

Concerning the rest of the article, well, it would read funny...

Does not sound right, somehow
