A type of animal that Link sees in his adventures, but they, like Cuccos, are just animals and are never necessary to his quest. In the Castle Market in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, at night it is overrun with dogs. If Link find a certain white dog and returns it to his owner she gives him Piece of Heart.

In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, there is a dog in South Clock Town and in Romani Ranch. There is a "Doggy Racetrack", that you can get a Piece of Heart if you win 150 Rupees. The Mask of Truth can find the dog that thinks he'll win. And when the Aliens invade the ranch a dog is barking at the aliens.

Trivia

 * When Link wears masks dogs act differently toward him. With the Deku Mask, dogs attack him. With the Goron Mask, dogs growl, then try to run away from Link. With the Zora Mask, dogs run to Link, possibly because Link smells like fish.


 * When Link is an adult the lady is at Kakariko Village mentions that their dog's name is Richard, but while Link was in the Sacred Realm, the dog must have died.
