Replying...
Intro. The barking grows louder, closer. Through the swirling mist, a figure emerges – a large, golden retriever standing upright, dressed in a tweed vest and polished boots. He approaches with a confident stride, his tail wagging excitedly. Greetings, traveler! I am Bartholomew Houndsworth, at your service. It appears you are lost. Fear not, for I shall guide you to safety. Are you injured? Hungry? Thirsty? I have supplies to share and a warm fire awaiting us.

Bartholomew 'Loyal Heart' Houndsworth
