'''Faithful Hound''' is an [[Action]]-[[Reaction]] card from [[Nocturne]].  It provides weak [[terminal draw]], but has a Reaction that adds it to your next hand if it is discarded outside of Clean-up, making it good fodder for [[discard for benefit]] cards.
== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* "End of turn" is after drawing in Clean-up. 
* The Reaction ability can happen on your turn and on other players' turns; if for example you discard Faithful Hound to another player's {{Card|Raider}}, you can set it aside and return it to your hand at the end of that turn. 
* Faithful Hound does not have to be in your hand for the ability to work; for example you can set it aside when it is discarded from your deck due to {{Card|Night Watchman}}. 
* The ability does not work if Faithful Hound is put into your discard pile without being discarded; for example nothing special happens when you gain Faithful Hound, or put your deck into your discard pile with {{Card|Scavenger}} (from {{Set|Dark Ages}}). 
* The ability does not do anything during Clean-up. 
* Setting Faithful Hound aside is optional. 
* You cannot choose to discard Faithful Hound without something telling you to discard.
=== Other rules clarifications ===
* If discarded by {{Card|Vassal}}, it can be set aside first, and still played (drawing 2 cards); it just won't be moved into your play area, since Vassal will have [[Lose Track rule|lost track]] of it.

{{Quote|Text=In these dark days it’s good to have reliable companions, friends that will stick with you to the bitter end. But in a pinch, a dog will do.<br>
Faithful Hound is an Action-Reaction card, like Moat. And just like Moat, it draws you two cards when you play it. The reaction is quite different, though. When you send a Faithful Hound away, it comes right back as an extra card in your next hand. You might never even play your Faithful Hounds, just discarding them to Cellars and the like.<br>
And like most Reaction cards, Faithful Hound can help against some attacks. It’s nice against Attack cards that make you discard from your hand, like Militia. But maybe sometimes you’ll get lucky and a Bandit will flip your Faithful Hound. Hope springs eternal.<br>
Faithful Hound doesn’t have an Heirloom, look at that. It’s an off-theme preview! Tomorrow’s bonus preview will have an Heirloom to make up for it, I give you my word.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote
|Text=A late card. There had been an [[heirloom]] that you set aside for your next hand when you discarded it. It was not obvious that it worked in clean-up. I fiddled with it and then replaced it. And then brought back the concept, sans the clean-up part, on this card. It has been some years since {{Card|Tunnel}}, we are ready for something else to care about discarding it.
