Sir Chester is a good boy! A GOOD BOY!

>>55009224
depends on if this is normal behavior for the king, for the most part I really don't think any but the most staunch, old traditionalists would have any issue whatsoever

I'm pretty sure Sean Connery and Nils Olav get along just fine.

Why knight the dog and not the Kennal master that trained the dog?

>>55009325
Because only one of them can have their lineage tracked back for a dozen generations?

>>55009224
what poses the most questions is why did a generic photo company needed to take a picture of a bulldog in knight's armor for some generic need.

>>55009408
Some comercials need dog actors anon

Stock photo companies take a lot of odd photos.

I'm guessing they take the normal stock photos, then start messing around because they paid for x hours of photo shoots and they are going to use all the time they paid for, even if they have already taken all the photos they planned to take. If nobody wants the odd photos, it's no big deal, as it's not like it cost any extra to take them.

>>55009224
Being political figures (of varying proficiency) they all understand the need to play off the severity of the attack with levity (at least in public). Given the lucky escape of the child and the fact none of them (or their staff) were able to detect the miscreant, they do not complain.

>>55009859
Close. They have analytics, and also businesses request weird shit for distinctive marketing. The stock shutterbugs then compete to meet a brief (no matter how retarded) and get paid a share for the usage of their images. They often have to split this with a stock agency, who host a low res preview online, which is where the memes come from.

>>55009224
this made me chuckle.
thanks anon.

>>55009224
I'd imagine a relationship similar to pets (and only pets) throughout recent wars, a bit like a mascot I guess

>>55009269
>depends on if this is normal behavior for the king

Yeah, I don't think the vassals will have anything to worry about, unless the king also gifts the dog a fiefdom and a seat on the Royal Council.

>>55009951

>>55009224
probably better then the horse senator shit

i mean were probably thinking along the lines of random military divisions worldwide that have mascots that officially(technically anyway) have fully comissioned officers that are dogs/cats/ect

so as long as kingly doesnt go full >>55010593

chaps seem to love him so there ya go

The same way police officers IRL feel about their dogs having formal cop status

>>55009224
Kings and emperors did this sort of shit all the time. This would actually be a more tame instance of this sort of thing happening when you consider that Caligula allegedly made his fucking horse a member of his council and let it eat at the damned table with him.

How's that, generally?

I'd assume they're cool with it, but you never know with cops

>>55009224
Depends both on the nobility of the dog and whether any of their fellow knights are filthy cat lovers.

Depends on a lot of things.
If it's done as a means to create a mascot, a symbol that the knights all rally around, so that they all model themselves after this regal, brave hound then they probably take it well.
If it was the king saying that knights are so useless lately that he'd rather have a dog doing their job, then it's an insult. Some knights would be ashamed, others angry.
If it was the king giving the dog a title, speaking formally to it, waiting for it to answer in conversation, and giving it land and vassals, then it is a sign the king's mind is likely slipping. The other knights may see it as an opportunity to crown a new king in the face of this one's advancing illness.

>>55011507
You don't even consider that the dog might have what it takes.

In this day and age, stock photos have gained a large contribution base. If they don't have to pay anything to get the piece in stock, there's no reason not to carry it. And contributors have incentive to fill bizarre niches because they'll likely have a monopoly on that category for at least a while.

>>55011424

They love their dogs, and have no problems accepting them as fellow cops.

After all, if you're tasked with taking down a fleeing perp, it's the dog that's under much greater threat of being shanked/shot than you.

>>55011507
>>not wanting the dog to be given lands and vassals

What if the king is old and cannot walk the dog, and the dog has a designated walker and park gifted to him?

No, but you can assassinate him with far fewer complaints from the general public (since no-one ever asks their opinion anyway).

tfw sir drewlsalot outranks me

>>55012027
pretty much
killing the king and putting one of his not-crazy sons/nephew/distant blood relative on the throne goes over a bit better when they arent shitting themselves screaming that Sir Bark needs to shore up defenses against the vile seagull confederacy

>>55011643
See, this right here is why some people have trouble with "British" humor. You can literally never tell if they are joking or not.

I'm not even sure THEY can tell, sometimes. Like, are those gin mascots at the tower of london really serious? Or are they just method acting a farcical sketch so hard that they literally NEVER break character until they're dead?

>>55009224
Are you questioning me, Glitterhoof?

>>55011930
You could depose him or have a regent though

>king has dog knight sit at the round table with all the big boys
>most of them are fine with this but a special group of 3 autist knights fucking hate
>they try to poison the dog but the king catches word and executes one of them before the plan could be finished

>>55011424
They literally consider their dogs their partners and view them as an equal.

Not only are the dogs intelligent and capable of understanding complex orders and commands effectively, they are fanatically loyal to the officer and love the officer unconditionally. K9 officers who lose their dogs are just as heartbroken and mourn just as hard as beat cops who lose their partners - possibly even harder. They're considered cops because they ARE cops in the eyes of their handlers and other officers.

Police dogs are basically well-trained, fiercely loyal toddlers that possess superhuman noses, powerful jaws, and can run you the fuck down.

>>55009224
there's a myth in japan about a shogun who promises his daughters hand in marriage to anyone who brings him the head of his enemy, who is poised to immediately destroy the Shogun and his feifdom.

The next day, his loyal dog drags the head into court with it.

ONE REALLY AWKWARD MARRIAGE LATER....

New knightly mascot!

As long as it starts a trend of all of the King's knights being known as Dogs.

>>55013910
Atleast it was not an octopus...
Fucking japs

>>55009377
Fucking savage

>>55009224

If modern humans are any indication, then they would receive it well. In American college football, dogs are the mascots for many teams. They even keep a live dog to represent the team. I see this as being very similar to that.

>>55015175

Plus, like, the dog killed an assassin trying to murder a baby. I'd be down with making him a knight lol. Good for the dog. Clearly he makes for an excellent guard, too, make sure you get him to breed.

>>55009224
Clear fuckup from the king, he should have finished the story and murdered the dog so it could be promoted straight to saint. It just saves embarrassment all around.

>>55020258
Fuck, I've seen a /k/ screencap with a retelling of this story, I had never realized.

>>55009224
Laugh at the incompetency of the assassin that got caught by a dog. Drunkenly proclaim themselves as the Dog Unit.
Initiate brawls whenever someone dares to question the Dog Knight.
Silently praise the gods because holy shit the King almost got assassinated

Depends if you're talking about the Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters) or the Queen's Guard. One is just a traditional bit of pageantry and fun for the tourists, the other are actual members of the military who will not hesitate to shoot those same tourists if necessary.

>>55011643
So what counts as improper conduct for the Tower Ravens?

>>55021238
regardless of official regulations im sure shitting on the queen is up there

>>55021301
Given the legend of what happens if the Ravens were to leave, I think the queen will have to take that shit on the chin and deal with it

After looking into it, I retract my statement.
Apparently attacking tv serials is considered grounds for dismissal.
Also, one fucked off to the pub and got sacked.
Another saw that one Raven got attention when it died, so he played dead to get the same treatment and bit the handler when he fell for it.

Sometimes I forget how intelligent Ravens are

>>55021353
getting rid of a few does not mean getting rid of the flock

theres always more ravens anon
and i would normally say theres always more queens but this one seems like she wants to see another millenium before she croaks
