I actually just finished reading the Old Kingdom Trilogy by Garth Nix, so it seemed somewhat appropriate that I mention one of the two animals from that. I chose the Disreputable Dog (Disreputable Bitch, if you want to be exact), also known as Kibeth, because I prefer her to Mogget/Yrael (though expect him later).
So who is this dog? She's the true friend of Lirael: a magical, talking dog, a remnant of the beginning of the world Lirael lives in, who gave herself over to binding the world with the Charter.
"Suddenly, the dog stopped scratching, stood up and shook itself, spraying droplets of dirty water all over Lirael and all over the study. Then it ambled across and licked the petrified girl on the face with a tongue that most definitely was all real dog and not some Charter-made imitation.
When that got no response, it grinned and announced, 'I am the Disreputable Dog. Or Disreputable Bitch, if you want to get technical. When are we going for a walk?'"

Hey there,
I have yet to read the Old Kingdom Trilogy yet but I'm waiting for the new book for the keys to the kingdom (or something like that). It's like 7 books long because its after the days of the week! I want to read the other books he has written though!
I've read the first four of the Keys books! :) The first book I read by Garth Nix was Mister Monday. But I love the Old Kingdom Trilogy.
