One of the best characters on Discworld is, IMHO, Gaspode the Wonder Dog, mentioned in passing in this item.

Gaspode, who's name in Wolf translates as "Small, smelly dog" is one of the long suffering unsung heroes of discworld, much given to expressions such as "Bow Bloody Wow" and "Whine" (The word, not the sound) when around most humans, though any human hearing him speak assumes that they are hearing things, since everyone knows that dogs can't talk.

For all his inbred cowardice and lack of size, he did once attack a full-grown wolf, who fortunately didn't take him seriously.

Give us more of Gaspode The Wonder Dog!

Thing is, since people simply KNOW that dogs can't talk, they realise that they must just have thought things like "Look, what a nice dog. It looks so cute and hungry! I should feed him my saussage!".
