Thank you very much for your quick and detailed answers. It becomes more interesting and intriguing.

It reminds me the hsunchen tribes, Black Horse Order and Cwurl Toran's wardog. For relationships between human and animals, a mythical event or hero guesting seemes to be the keystone.

Or some specific animals which have clear connection with deities/sprits only need that kind of special backgrounds? Humans can befriend with animals like dogs, houes cats, horses and lions. (Of course last case is still dangerous, albeit possible.)

The size of some dogs is almost the same.
At first, they are likely considered large domesticated cat breeds in Dragon Path.
Because so many alynxes are actually pets and companions of Orlanthi.
But it will be very shocking
when would-be owners notice alynxes are not tamable other than Orlanthi,
and they are wild like lions and tigers.
By the way, thank you for your revelations, Mr. Jeff and Mr. Metcalfe.
