Not.... exactly. Astartes don't keep pets. He was actually owned by the planetary governor of Baal Solock, the planet I had been sent to assist. Dogs are useful against Primuls, they react to their presence swiftly, and give an early warning helpful for unenhanced humans. This time, I had one with me, the primary clerk of the Governor, Perdet Suiton Antoni. She managed to slay two primuls, quite a feat for anyone not of my phratry. One with a grenade, and one with an improvised bomb and a knife. She was, I think, my first friend outside of my brothers.
At any rate, I took the dog with myself and her when we investigated the crash site of a Primul space ship, which had gone down in a distant farming town. As a government functionary and not a trained warrior, I asked her to stay back. She complied in an... interesting fashion.
[ Priad's voice is a mixture of approval and mild annoyance, mixed with something like nostalgia. ]
She ended up fighting a Primul with only Princeps to help her. Fortunately, her ingenuity, his ferocity, and her knife proved enough, while I purged the remainder of their clan.
[ Which is to say he soloed about 30 evil hair metal elvish space pirates, though he doesn't brag about numbers. .]
There's a second half to the story, if I'm not boring you.
