The dog watched Teveri creep forward. It really was astonishingly blue. It was a little more than knee height at the shoulder, the size and configuration of a N’gakan lion-hunting dog—pointy snout, long legs, a deep chest, and fairly short fur everywhere but for the soft feathering on its ears and markedly curved tail. Its nose was black and wet and twitching; its eyes were bright and intelligent. And blue.
