Alien Cattle Dogs

Lore 1:
Public Service Announcement:
The government does not abduct cows. They do not have a large map marking every crop circle and cow abduction event in recorded history and correlations do not exist. They do not find hybridized cow creatures and take them to area 51. The hybridized cow creatures that do not exist cannot warp Luck Fields around their owners and friends to win at slots. Do not believe these lies. You can trust the government.

Lore 2:
Out in the country, folks got their own way of doing things. It might not be as quick or clean as the city folks, but it gets the job done. Deep in the heart of cow country, a cattle rancher's kids saw that their old cattle dog was having a bit of trouble keeping up with the much bigger, much stronger young bulls. Knowing that their family couldn't afford to get new pups of the best cattle rounding breeds, they decided to try their hand at augmenting an abandoned puppy they found in the barn one night. For sure, they're a mite dim when compared to other dogs, but their cattle bits make it easier to reason with the cattle like cowfolks and not just dumb animals to be ordered around. Less stress makes for better meat, and it weren't long before all the other ranchers in the area were coming to them with mutt puppies.
