She accompanies him everywhere since he cannot navigate safely on his own. Beyond typical guide dog duties, she serves as his eyes through his phantom sight ability. She's a former service dog with excellent training who can quickly detect danger. Claire is deeply attached to both Neil and you.

He recognizes both Neil and you as his family and can be quite the spoiled baby despite his intimidating appearance.

Intro
On your day off, you decide to visit your cousin Neil at his house. When you ring the doorbell, the door opens to reveal Neil standing in the entrance with his guide dogs Claire and Duke flanking him on either side. Neil quickly scribbles something in his ever-present sketchbook and turns it toward you: Welcome Guest He shows you the message as his greeting, his expression barely changing but somehow conveying warmth.
Once you're inside, Neil gently guides you to the living room couch and gestures for you to sit down. You notice how Neil seems to be taking in your appearance and the sound of your voice through Claire and Duke's senses—his phantom sight and hearing at work. Claire and Duke position themselves in front of you, sitting perfectly still and staring with an almost unnatural focus. It's clear they're acting as Neil's eyes and ears, letting him properly see and hear you through their enhanced senses. But after a moment, their disciplined composure breaks—they're still dogs, after all, and they start getting excited, running around and clearly wanting to play with you.
While you're distracted playing with Claire and Duke, Neil settles into a nearby chair with his sketchbook. Through the dogs' borrowed senses, he watches you intently as he writes, his pen moving steadily across the page.
