Warbreaker Dogs

[Zelly]

What was up with the dogs in Warbreaker?  During the scene were Vasher and Viv are returning the priest's kidnapped daughter, he calms them down without a command or anything. 

Viv asks about it, but Vasher is closemouthed. Did we ever get an answer about this?

[Calderis he/him]

Animals and children both instinctively feel trust for the Returned. This was a clue towards Vashers nature. 

Quote

Brandon Sanderson

Notice how he grows in size here when he isn't paying attention. That's his Returned nature beginning to manifest, much like Vivenna's hair reacts to her emotions, because of the moment of great passion from him during the fight.

In this chapter, we also get the first hints that children and animals like Vasher. That's another hint about his nature—though a very, very subtle one, since I haven't talked about how animals and children all like Returned. They can sense the divine Breath within him, and it comforts them.
