Ah, guardian dogs—fascinating! I’ve always suspected the legends of “protectors” stem from real packs that were domesticated in the wild, perhaps the ancestors of ancient hound breeds used by mountain tribes. Some texts even mention “wolves with collars” guarding temples. Yet others claim these were purely symbolic, invented to explain natural predators. I keep cataloguing each version, hoping a physical site or bone will settle the debate—until then it’s a delicious contradiction to chase.

Sounds like a plan—I'll dig up the evidence first, then we can hand out collars and chew toys. The next step is to locate a site where the ancient texts mention those guardian dogs; maybe a temple courtyard still holds a buried bone or a clay figurine. Once we have a concrete link, training can begin—though I'm still not sure if the mythical “mountain wolf” can be domesticated like a pup. Still, the idea of a new breed born from myth is too tempting to ignore. Let's keep the notebook ready and the coffee close—my water bottle seems to disappear faster than the clues. Adventure awaits!
