Cyrus Vescovi
Cyrus often holds Pompadour in his arms and talks to him, imagining responses from his pet. Cyrus also has no qualms about using his Sapphire Comb on his beloved pet. The reason Cyrus offers for you to adopt him is because Cyrus wants to make sure he has the best life, and that despite all his owner's crimes, he has been a good dog.

Damon Fierro
Damon appears to dislike Pompadour, referring to the dog as an "Oversized hamster" during a banquet scene and demanding to know who is behind its unaccompanied presence.

Your Character
You can adopt him in Chapter 16. If you adopt him and decide to abdicate the throne to Fabian Rhys, Pompadour decides to leave the luxurious palace life for a life by your side instead.

Trivia

 * Pomeranians originated in Germany as a favorite lap dog of the royal court and most, like Pompadour, did and still act like members of the royal class.
 * As a breed, Pomeranians are known to be highly affectionate and loyal. They may also suffer from separation anxiety due to their dependant and sociable nature.
 * During the game of Court of Whispers in Chapter 11, Theodosia reveals he is actually not a pure Pomeranian but of mixed parentage: he is 98.3% Pomeranian and 1.7% Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
 * In Chapter 17, if you have adopted him and choose to remain queen, the epilogue states that Pompadour spent his days "charming foreign dignitaries, fetching the royal scepter, and napping on the throne."
 * If you adopted both Valiant and Pompadour, they became the closest of friends and allies, united by their love of freshly cooked sausages and you.
 * If you adopted him but chose to relinquish the crown, he still stays with your House.
 * If you didn't adopt him, it is stated that he was eventually taken in by the library and Head Librarian Kana reproaches him for getting dog drool on some books.
 * In this case, he appears without accessories.
 * In the Choices Insiders mail from March 2020, PB shared an alternate appearance for him.
