You tell the crowd a story about a dog who saved the life of a saint of the Church of Ebron, and how ever since then, the dog has been sacred to Ebron. Then you tell an irreverent joke about over-zealous priests, and the crowd's blood-lust is turned to laughter. The priest is booed, and sent on his way.

The shepherd who owns the dog is grateful and he gives you some tips on wilderness lore.
