Otterdog

"You've certainly heard the story of the Fishherd? It's a dog that grew up in the magical rivers of (Wales?). While normal dogs can swim, but usually trot around on the land and herd sheep for the humans who own them, this dog seems to lay claim to the many rivers of the land, and it swims about and herds the fish towards fishermen near the shores it treads. It's a good sign when it's nearby, because it'll bark the fish into yer nets!"

"Nah, that's just superstition. First, that dog was probably born as an otter, and it'll only help ye if'n it's not busy howling fish away from you and into someone else's nets. Or just keepin' them all for itself!"

Otterdog likes humans, but doesn't understand humans. The humans who smell nice, he herds fish into their nets. He patrols his areas, and doesn't like people who dump filth into the waters. If there's a human on the shores of his river, he will interact with them, whether it's helpful or hurtful. You could also easily make him a shore-dog, and have him venture into brackish rivers instead; Otterdog Fishherd can be bound as a familiar with Rego, Aquam, and Animal, with a lab total of 31 or more.
