Personally I feel it would serve better as a wall mount housing item, that way people who want to make a shrine to him can do so in the comfort of their own home. And if they want a little Haurchefant while away from the house, make a special minion for him in that same side quest or purchasable in the Mog Station (would be nice if Minfilia and Thancred minions were there too for those of us who missed the event...like me... ;__; )
