Whats the point of Doxy the dog?

[Nervend]

Outside Cyseal to the east there is a named dog that leads you to a fight with a wolf pack. The dog helped me in the fight and she survived, but after the battle ended she walked to the left a bit and seemed to disappear.

I can't find the dog anywhere so I'm curious if I missed something, does anyone know? Possibly bugged or was there no point to this scene? I had Pet Pal, btw

Same in my game, disappeared after the fight. It's probably not a bug, maybe they had some bigger quest in mind but didn't have time to finish it.

Well thats a shame.

A lot of sequence-based NPCs, like the first man that is attempting to steal a fish at the market when you enter the first town, just vanish in thin air after their quest/sequence is done.

If you try to follow them you will see that they move further and then just vanish.
I don;t like this,it breaks the immersion but whatever, I will live with it.

It bothers me in this instance because it's a "protect the npc" type of thing, but you don't get anything from keeping Doxy alive. It just ends with no dialog and all you did was waste effort.

Anyone tried talking to Doxy with the Pet pal perk? The dog might have something to say then.

Well he said that you smell like a hero and thats just what he needs, than u follow him to certain place, kill something and than he is gone and nothing.

i was searching for him around after with no luck...

Exactly, thats why I expected something to happen if the dog survived. But the npc despawns for no apparent reason.

[Blackjack]

Clearly Doxy is a ghost dog and was looking for someone to kill the wolves that killed him.

[Syrris]

At some point it was indicated that Doxy is a sheep dog, which is why it wants you ("a hero!") to get rid of the wolves.

I spoke to doxy after the fight just before he disappears and he said (I don't know the exact quote as I play in french) : "the creature says something incomprehensible, maybe the source-hunters would discover the willing of the beast".
Very disappointing if there nothing after this...

After the fight I could not find her either. She helps with the fight then she is gone. They need to tweak that fight so it makes better sense.

Hmm did your character have the pet pal trait?

similarly I rescued a chicken from being eaten only to have it walk off and disappear without a thankyou.

I tried this, nothing came of it, I did this scenerio like 4 times trying to "make" something happen. Maybe it will be added at a later date or I did something wrong.
