Nou

Nou was the name of a mangy watchdog that was kept in the garden next door to where Thordy and her husband, Gaz, lived in the Gadrobi District of Darujhistan.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 5, US TPB p.131Toll the Hounds, Chapter 21, US TPB p.711

Nou usually paid little attention to Gaz and his comings and goings, with one exception - whenever Gaz was enraged and he stormed out the house determined to find someone to take out his boiling anger on, always walking with a characteristic forward tilt to his body, and marching into the night with jerky strides - it was then that Nou would react to Gaz's passing by with a frenzied "eruption of barking". On the other hand, Nou would completely ignore Gaz when, for example, he staggered back home, drunk and useless. Thordy, having observed this behavior of the watchdog a number of times and thinking that animals, dogs in particular, "could smell bad intentions" had concluded that Nou could sense when Gaz was on his way to do something terrible, as opposed to when he was not.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 5, US TPB p.130-131
