In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels there are dogs throughout the known world. Dothraki khalasars are constantly followed by packs of feral dogs who feed on the corpses left behind by them. Meanwhile, the dogs bred by the men of the Frozen Shore to pull their bone chariots are said to be as big as direwolves.
