Also, am I the only one that thinks that Taiyang having to leave the island for "a couple of days" and needing to send his dog to his daughters to the continent is a bit weird? Like, aside of the reasons for leaving, that, since he is a hunter and a teacher, don't really need to be about what it's going down with the White Fang, why couldn't he leave it to Qrow?

Qrow is likely either Taiyang's brother or brother-in-law... or a friend close enough to the family for the girls to call him uncle. They are colleagues on top of that. SO either Qrow is also away from Patch, is leaving with him to the relationship between him and Taiyang ain't that good.

Well, there is also the possibility he hoped, knowing the options first years have for their first missions, the puppy would discourage the girls from picking a mission outside of the kingdom and instead they would choose something like patrolling the walls.
