Interesting story , Garmr her faithful dog guarded her ,, today in the Labyrinths Hell Hounds patrol and carry 8 foot spears , the hounds are completely vicious even without the spears . This is what they look like in the thumbnail below . They walk upright and their height is 5' 10" to 6 ft tall . They walk in packs of six in formation , disciplined and ruthless which is a horrible combination if you are the focus of their attention !
