THE HALF-BRED MASTIFF TRIED TO DEFEND THEM <:(

It did. Every dog we encounter or hear in Dracula has the same response to the Count: This thing is evil. It means harm. Stop it. Stop it! Protect, protect!

There's a lot to be said about the framing of Dogs (the heroes) VS the Wolf After the Flock (Dracula) in both metaphorical and literal terms. But one of my favorite theories regarding this particular poor dog is that Mr. 'Plans everything in advance' possibly dug into the land's own folklore and got spooked.

Transylvania has its witches, werewolves and vampires, now minus one.

England has...some very unique black dogs. Church grims. Black Shuck. And, of course, the dear old Barghest, which Old Swales was so quick to cast aside.

Dogs who guard the cemeteries, announce deaths, usher souls and slaughter those who impede them. Hounds dedicated to delivering the dead away from Earth. Psychopomps with paws.

If I were a supernatural old undead fiction in the flesh, I'd be a little jumpy about seeing a giant black dog in the Land of Stories about Weird Black Dogs Dedicated Entirely to Delivering the Dead Off the Mortal Coil coming to maul my ass, regardless of it sensing how powerful I was. Was the maiming of the dog cruel? Definitely. But in the Count's mind, I can see how he would consider it the first genuine safety precaution he's had to make in months.

I got my grandmother to read Dracula Daily and it's fun because she's a casual enjoyer who reads it and gets on with her day, meanwhile I'm absolutely deranged about it all.

Grandmother: it's nice that Jonathan and Mina got married :)

Me losing my mind on Tumblr, absolutely spamming my followers' dashboards: yeah :)

so this is basically what happened right

Dracula AU where some well-meaning soul catches him in dog form and collars him. This locks him into that form (say, the collar coincidentally has some garlic and wild rose rubbed on it to keep down fleas) and he has to deal with being kept as a pet and slowly, to his utter chagrin, tamed.
