AND, if all the dog ladies are the same person, mother Earth, then why would Anya's death effect the next dog lady? The only way that it WOULD effect her is that ALL of the dog ladies are agents, like Glaeken, perhaps representing mother Earth, or humankind, something like that. But the way that it has gone down so far, there is no way that all the dog ladies can be only one, they have to be "many"!

why can't they be one spirit/soul/person/entity? rotten ole Rassyface has appeared in numerous forms including a woman.
not sentient? have you read Harbingers? MINOR SPOILER ALERT FOLLOWS: [SPOILER]Akitas RULE! the dogs are, in my opinion, just dogs. the breed and personalities are chosen to reflect the manifestation of the Lady and the need at the time. The 'keeter was needed to provide immediate and effective protection. Is could be killed but it was ready to give its life to protect the Lady and Jack.[/SPOILER]
we never see the same Lady and Dog twice. the significance of that, I think is substantial. sure, same Lady/Dog multiple times in one story but never in a new situation.
I also think it might be funny for Jack to strike up a conversation with lady and a dog and for her to think he's nuts- until a Lady and a Dog show up to laugh at him. "I would have thought you'd recognize your Mother a little better, Jack". lol
