Athena is family

Dogs are important to Troopers on the move and Scouts in the field

Lasthope Dogs that move with the Bands are trained to peak levels and don't bark only growl low and point towards danger

Kilo is a Husky Workdog so he is treated like a workdog, Marty and Dave are Hunting dogs and treated as such

I see about 20 dogs with the expedition and all except Athena are Workdogs, she's special because she is as I said more a Pet but that sounds too weak and is all I have. She works with you and is your buddy which is actually rare because anyone that works dogs can tell you Working Dogs are not Pets
