Yeah. Turns out the dog he wants you to find is a hellhound. When you bring it back to him, he transforms and takes it back to the hells with him. You get a nice gem out of it too. I didn't know you could kill him, though.
Even though I know he's a demon I feel bad about attacking him and usually just bring him his dog. After all if I'm willing to let Viconia into my party despite her being an evil drow it seems hypocritical to murder Albert just for being a demon.
Yup, he is a demon from Nine Hells. The 'chew toy' he gives to you is actually remnants of an armored adventurer (metal scraps!) slain in cold blood and devoured.
(*Fails save against pedantry*) Actually, Albert is a Devil, not a Demon. Devils (along with Hellhounds) are from the Nine Hells of Baator and Demons are from the Abyss. Needless to say, they don't get along very well with one another.
Poor little Albert. He just wants his doggie before traveling back to Baator to report the progress on his mission to his superiors. I always make sure to help him out.

Ahh that explains why he does not outright murder you if you complete his quest and help him out. He is lawful evil! A chaotic evil demon would probably thank and then tear the hapless adventurers apart, just for the kicks.
Also, there's a kid in the area right north of Beregost that tells you that you shouldn't mess with him because he's got a badass friend named Albert. This kid made me look out for "Albert" throughout the whole game, so I was prepared when I finally found him.

I've played this game hundreds of times (and talked to that kid in most of them) and never made the connection. I love Baldur's Gate - always something new to find.

Did I finally break the code? Is stating obscure facts about the game the way to earning several "insightfuls" in one post?

You are well on your way to getting the 25 insightful's badge
Naw, @Basillicum, the way to gain "insightfuls" is to be insightful. Be more insightfuller!
The number of insightful-s awarded as insightful seem to be in direct proportion to the number of insightful-s in the actual post. That discovery is very insightful. Insightful.

Indeed I was. The badge is achieved and I feel all the wiser for it.

However, afterwards - I just bring his dog back. Hey, demons are people too!
*Nods sagely*
I remember the first time I encountered Albert and it freaked me out when I saw him morph for the first time.
Insightful.
@KidCarnival Regrettably I don't see what he did there. Can someone elaborate? Indeed I was. The badge is achieved and I feel all the wiser for it.
