History of the mastiff

Any hunter needs a faithful and reliable companion who will help in trouble, will not let you freeze on a cold night, and in case of trouble will be able to call for help. But hunters most often travel alone, because where two pairs of eyes are looking for prey, both will be left with nothing. At least, there is such a sign. Fate should not be tested for strength – such is the law in the wastelands.
 
But a good hunter will always find a way out. And that's why special companion animals, mastiffs, were brought out in the wastelands. These distant relatives of snow wolves are not at all like their ancestors – dark fur always makes them stand out against the background of snow, but it makes them practically invisible on rocky plains. Heavy muzzle, powerful paws, impressive build, shaggy coat and quarrelsome character. This is how a wanderer who saw a mastiff from the side would describe it. This dog really inspires respect, and sometimes fear, to those who encounter him for the first time. However, outsiders rarely see mastiffs.
 
Skirmishers who go hunting always take a faithful dog with them. Contrary to their appearance, mastiffs are quite harmless and exceptionally loyal to their master and his family. They never stray far from their master, guard his sleep at night, and willingly roll small children on their powerful back. However, for strangers and for hunted prey, the mastiff has long fangs and jaws capable of gnawing through the mouflonou's spine.
 
In some settlements, mastiffs are bred, and their puppies can sometimes be found in bazaars and in the Valley of Cold, and even much further south – up to the mysterious Ketam Ai. If you happen to become the owner of a mastiff, know that this is not an ordinary dog, his respect must be earned. But if you manage to do this, then you will never find a satellite. Wherever you go, no matter how difficult it is for you, he will always follow you everywhere and will protect you from any troubles.
