Not sure how it's a logical conclusion. Logical conclusions require evidence to support said conclusion.

"Pet dogs wear collars."

"Fantasy dog girls must see collars as a wedding ring."

Bit of a stretch between the two. 's fine if that's how it makes sense for your personal head-canon, mind. I'm not being dismissive of that. And obviously, I agree that the collars are cute as hell. But it's not actually canonical canon. :-p

In any event, the Hellhound profile makes it pretty clear that not only are you not in charge of her, the two of you aren't even on equal footing. It's a (small) heirarchy, with you at the bottom. To quote directly from the profile:

"Unlike other wolf monsters, they are regarded as being absolutely untamable by humans. As far they are concerned, a human man is weak, fragile being that they should force into submission as their own male. For example, even if a man stronger than them were to appear, the only thing on their mind would be how to break the male before them into submission and make him their own. They would never even consider obeying a male."

All bolded text formatted for emphasis.

You're the pet. Not her. She owns you. You do not own her, in return. If she wears a collar, it's because she likes it. Not because she's declaring you her owner/master/equal partner. She loves you, sure. She would not cheat on you, sure. And she'll probably dote all over you (as long as you don't get uppity), sure. But you're not on equal terms with her. She's the boss because you're a weak, squishy human and she has to protect you.

You could be Batman, and she's still spend her time trying to figure out how to break you into submission so that she can protect you proper-like.

If you want a monster you can be all proper real-world-type husband & wife equal-partnership 50/50 with, the Hellhound is not the tree to be barking up.
