Mouse's Origins
Zuriel:
Harry probably didn't pursue the punk wizard, because he wasn't a big threat. He stole puppies, didn't kill anyone. Besides, Harry didn't know the pups were as special as they turned out to be.
And I was wondering...
The Wardhounds at the White Council, the Chinese Temple dog statues that come to life, aren’t they most likely Foo Dog spirits, too? Mouse's brothers and sisters?
magnusth:
About how mouse might've gone from "Foo dog scion" to "Foo dog"... couldn't he have, well, chosen, either on purose or inadverdently, through his actions?

No, they're constructs made by Ancient Mai IIRC.
Second Aristh:
Jim likes to mention that he's a lazy writer and doesn't like to waste characters that he's already developed. Mouse's kidnapper used summoned help from the NN. Hmm, doesn't that sound a little familiar? What other practitioner do we know that works for hire and likes to use primarily summoned muscle?
I think we should start looking at Binder more closely as a candidate for the kidnapper.
Someone had to have arranged for the puppies to be kidnapped. It's not too much of a stretch to assume that the BC had a hand in the scheme (what evildoer wants a litter of foo dogs in his backyard?), and Binder has a history of working with the BC in Turn Coat. A puppy heist seems just his speed from the background that we get for Binder. He's a careful guy but limited in the precautions he can take. Harry does a little mundane investigating to figure out when the kidnapper went out for dinner, but would that involve a good enough look to identify him? Plus, the kidnapper could have been using lackeys to help out if Harry did identify anyone involved in the heist.
Veritas:
I just has an idea of why an evil wizard or creature would like to get a baby Foo Dog. It is my belief that a Foo Dog draws its supernatural power in the act of guarding something( temples) or someone ( Harry). It appears to me that the foo Dog binds themselves to the person or place. So if a dark wizard gets a young puppy foo dog then it will bind to him and become like him ( Dark Foo Dog).
