Mouse's Origins
Phariah:
nice going so far Serack. there was a piece of a quote from the book you cut off i think is significant though. when you talk about his sentinel abilities you left off that he can harm spiritual creatures and his bark effects across the NN boundry. that is powerful in itself.
as to when he tells Lea he won Harry. i have always said it was meaning he won the PRR (Puppy Royal Rumble) to stay with Harry.
microbird:
I have different take on the "win-win" conversation between lea and mouse in changes. I believe lea means win as in win harry over or harrys love, while mouse uses win as in winning the lotto or the best job. See it could be that mouses litter had a certain number of lets say slots to be filled and he feels that he got the best slot, job, or opportunity being he was so adventerous. Also it could be that mouse got the top job, guarding the outsider bane!!
KevinSig:
Really only related to the first post, but in a thread that discussed things that Uriel has tweaked, I suggested that Heaven might have arranged things very slightly, to get the Foo Dogs to pass through Chicago.
If Heaven can tweak things to get Sanya a SUV when he's going to be needing one, they can certainly play with flight delays other minor things.
Mind you, I'm not suggesting that Heaven arranged the theft, just mitigated the damage by making sure that they passed through Harry's territory & making sure the Monks contacted him. Maybe also just getting Mouse to appreciate Harry, without messing with his free will.

As they are both "servants of The Divine" they are in a way "brothers". Not much but i would bet that Doctor Wilburn would still take his shoes of if he visited a Buddist Temple.
Cruness:
One thing to note, text-wise, Mouse enters the story immediately after Harry is exposed to Lasciel's shadow. Something tells me this isn't a coinicidence. If I were Mr. Sunshine, I might makes sure that a certain wizard that seems to be tied to many important events had a positive influence in his life that balanced out the negative.
Lash was a corrupting influence, whereas Mouse gave harry positive memories to draw on, even a motivation. There is a passage in Dead Beat, where Harry is feeling like he is in over his head, and he recalls that Mouse "thought I was pretty darned cool" and it picks him up.
I don't think this was a 7 words type balancing of the scales. But more of a life-line if you will.

and the part of Blood Rights where Harry looks back at the Pups and finds that the Notch-eared Puppy had fought his way to the top of the dog pile supports your theory wonderfully.
