Dogs are quadruped mammals native to Terra but encountered on several other worlds throughout the Imperium. They are popular domestic pets,[1a] and are the biological base for cyber-mastiffs.[6]

Dogs are also genetically related to wolves. Hence, after the Burning of Prospero, it was customary for Chaos Space Marines of the Thousand Sons Legion to refer to the Space Wolves as "the Dogs."[2]
