    Any know of there any LN/WN that have a Mastiff-type dog as major characters or even main character? Considering a lot of LN/WN takes places in Japan, the Tosa Inu (largest of all Japanese dog breeds) would be a candidate. For seiyuu fans, Sumi Shimamoto (Kyoko in "Maison Ikkoku" and Nausicaa in that Ghibli movie) was born in Kochi City, Kochi (the current home of the Tosa).

    Animal companions hasn't really been properly explored in LNs yet. Mostly they are worse than even side characters and feel more like a burden than a help to the story. I'm actually still waiting for a story with any good animal companion (like eragon and stuff)

    Now that's a specific request. I will be very amazed if someone actually found a novel whose main character is a mastiff.
