TheWoWDBThis guy was sitting in my garrison when I arrived today. When you mouse over him he get's a hand on him. If you use it it says "petting Snowpaw" but nothing else happens. Also, I could only pet him once. The hand on him is still there but when you click it nothing happens.
He's a cutie anyway:)
EDIT: Didn't notice at first but he's following me around now:))

Snowpaw will start visiting your Garrison when his owner, [npc=72976], passes away after the quest Gut Guttra.
Very sad story, but at least you get an adorable wolf follow you around your Garrison, so you got that going for you which is nice..
This is one of several NPCs that you can pet in your Garrison and have it follow you. The only other I am aware of at the moment is Rooter.
When you are able to build the pet menagerie, he stops roaming and you can find him in the back watching over your pets. A very nice touch by Blizzard. I submitted a screenshot of this.
(It's possible this starts at menagerie level 2 - I upgraded right away and didn't notice prior to that).
