i'm pretty sure we're safe with the dog. there's lots of dogs in history (though none that i know of specifically named Poppet).
i had thought of, a long while ago, having a black dog follow Morse around Paris (back when i was writing the whole Raziel thing). i had this whole thing about him feeding the dog the sandwiches that the nuns at Hotel Dieu would give him, etc. it wasn't any big "thing", just incidental and sorta emblematic of a lingering southern mythos (the whole black dog harbinger thing).
i'm blithering. the point is, i always wanted a dog-hanger-on somewhere.
so it might be amusing if Poppet the dog is just some little crop-tailed terrier who hangs around and begs chicken bones from Mr. Poppet on the lunch break between sessions.
