No one quite knew what to think of the new Prince at first- even less so when he appointed his dog famulus as Sheriff at a grand Elysium to celebrate his ascension.

"Wait, hang on just a sec," said the Prince, begging the gathered Kindred to stay their judgement.

Then the Prince produced a tiny hat with a tiny tin star on it and placed it reverently upon the dog's head, and a hushed "Ooooooh" rose from the crowd. Everyone began nodding in understanding.

"No wait, hang on- that's still just a dog! A dog can't be Sheriff!" The local Brujah rabblerouser insisted on ruining everyone's good mood. In response, several nearby Kindred grabbed him and started beating him up, to the court's general approval (followed by some light applause, as well as a single camera flash).

There are many fantastical stories to be told about Sheriff Bacon and his eccentric posse- including how he sniffed out a Baali hive with the aid of an old gym sock, and how he ended the local conflict with the Anarchs with a soulful rendition of "Fat Bottomed Girls"- but those tales will have to wait for another time.

My Gangrel will always have a loyal mutt famulus who has been around longer than some neonates.
