I am sorry I didn't know my example post was so dog heavy. I figured I was able to show that I could write about my character and never planned on using the dog as a sort of filler or function as my characters 'interaction' replacement.

A side note I would like to point out is that social people prefer dogs to canes as they are high in attention grabbing and are only really used by blind people with high levels of extrovert social personalities. After all most people like dogs and will ask to pet them. The people I work with are almost all dog owners. The one who owns a cane does so because he "hated having to talk to so many people". That is an actual quote. I couldn't stop laughing because this is a guy who is easily the hardest to small talk with. 

Another fun fact actually (Again I want to stress I am not arguing or 'fighting' for the dog. I understand. More just enjoy talking about it since training and assisting families with blind members is what I do for a living.) The animals companionship was going to play a key role in helping Devin stay calm. In guide dogs we train what we call "Stress Down Position" This is for when a person becomes highly stressed or scared. The dog will act in a caring fashion like like the persons hands or put their paw on the persons leg. Considering Devin's powers can go off during these times he would likely write a letter to the school appealing their no dog policy. Could I get a reply to that letter? I can use it to help boost my example post which I am going to review and edit so it doesn't feature so much dog talk.

Happy Tails!

I think you've misunderstood me! I wasn't referring to your example post. I've been in a lot of roleplays where characters have animal companions and it's just something I don't personally like, and when I mentioned it to Shard he agreed. We also have to keep in mind that there will be objective-based missions later on in the roleplay that a dog would be impractical for. In general it is just easier as a GM to plan things without having to consider: "What about the dog?"

If you still want to edit your sample post, PM me the letter from Devin, I will respond from the institute.
