As the soldiers surround the Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams, Prince Rupert of the Rhine rides up and declares the battle lost and demands their immediate surrender. Unleashing his ‘Dog of War’, a giant poodle, the Doctor is quick to warn Rory and Amy to block their ears as the dog emits a bark that freezes the higher brain functions, leaving the soldiers unable to move or speak. As Prince Rupert boasts about his remarkable dog ‘Boye’, his soldiers collect the other side's weapons. Suddenly Boye lunges at the Doctor. Using his sonic screwdriver the Doctor deflects the bark back on the dog, leaving it stunned. The stunned dog reveals on his back, a previously invisible, secret rider, itself a dog-like creature. Awakening, the creature identified itself as Parzival of the Vegracandis.
