Dresden suspects this is to make people feel more comfortable around a big dog safely tethered; he's a people canine. Several times during the series there are intimations of Mouse' divine origin. On occasion folks who understand Mouse' real nature are incredulous that Harry Dresden has him.
Is that? Where did you get a real Temple Dog? In Dead Beat , Mouse has grown a lot, standing as tall as Dresden's waist. He also has a broad build, his coat is dark grey, marked with black on the ear tips, tail, and lower legs. The scale of it was similar to a Civil Defense storm warning. Dresden describes it like a flood of sound, a solid living cascade that rattles your brain.
All of the residents awoke and vacated safely without panic. The Ordo were able to escape with the evacuation. Later, he helps Molly subduing the piece of golem attached to her nose and mouth. He accompanies Dresden and Carpenter to Undertown , his animosity against Marcone notwithstanding, accepting the latter's company in the expedition against the Golem's master. Gard to Undertown , in the search of Elizabeth Braddock. He proves invaluable against the malks. In Small Favor , Mouse races through three feet of snow like he was on a race track and tackles one of Torelli 's goons just before he's about to shoot Dresden.
He is attacked by the local Wolf people , prompting Dresden and Listens-to-Wind's to fight against the wolf people. Later, he follows Dresden and Deputy Gentle to the morgue where he picks up a scent. She pulls it out, crying. As soon as Molly leaves the room, he is up and walking normally, having faked it to make Molly feel her error more. As a Foo Dog, he is strong, and probably didn't need the medical care. Mouse also identifies Peabody as the the one who came through the Ways into Chicago.
Ancient Mai says, "Where did you get such a thing and why are you allowed to keep it? In Changes , a faint blue nimbus of light surrounds Mouse when he attacks the Ik'k'uox. The Ick threw Mouse by his tail, he hit the ground hard, letting out a cry of pain. However, being the troublemaker of the litter, he ended up stowing away in the Blue Beetle during the trip back to the airport to meet Brother Wang.
With no way of reaching the monk when he discovered the mistake, Harry ended up adopting the puppy. Harry named him Mouse because of his quiet temperament, grey coloring, and small size. However, he grew to be enormous, and Harry suspects he may not even be full-grown.
He is compared to the Caucasian Ovecharka Mountain dog, but he's large even for the breed, with his head easily reaching Harry's waist. In " White Night ," Bob finally gives us a breakdown of the stories and myths behind the "temple dog".
Mouse may or may not possess the abilities listed, which include detecting of dark energy, and dark spirits, overt guardianship of owner and family, protection of religious shrines, give warning to a small county, and finally above Lassie type intelligence. There is also some interesting side notes that confirm that they are formidable as "Ancient Mai created some temple dog statues to assist wardens in maintaining security.
While the abilities listed here are the ones that Bob states as being confirmed by multiple sources as being true, the description of mouse and the powers he may have is left open as there are other possible powers that bob does not list as they are not confirmed by multiple sources. But essentially Think of Mouse as the Lassie outfitted for the super natural world with a whole extra can of large dog whoop ass thrown in.
We have seen that Mouse has often used his intellect to help Harry out in his investigation, and that he has a sixth sense when danger or evil is nearby, even beneath a veil. In Proven Guilty Mouse survives getting hit by a van, with nary a scratch, and seems to gather a flow of energy prior to bringing down a supernatural villain. In White Night, Mouse barks loud enough to warn an entire building of danger, using sound and energy to convey the message.
He is also shown to manifest a glowing aura when attacking supernatural beings - possibly some form of enhancement that allows him to overcome supernatural defences. In Changes , Mouse's intellectual abilities are underlined again when he is recognised as a competent witness and, indeed a Foo Dog by the court trying Warden Morgan.
This and his arguments with Lea on the road to Chichen Itza strongly imply that he is not just a smart dog, but actually a sapient being in his own right. Explore Wikis Community Central.
