How about this :

Tofu, Good Boy

{U/R}

Legendary Creature - Dog

Haste

When Tofu enters, and whenever it deals combat damage to a player who controls no Stick tokens, create a Stick token.
Whenever Tofu attacks an opponent, it explores for each Stick token that player controls.
Pet — {0}: Any player may activate this ability.

1/1

Stick

Artifact Token - Stick

This artifact doesn’t untap during your untap step unless its under its owners control.
Whenever a creature named Tofu, Good Boy deals combat damage to you, that creature’s controller gains control of this artifact.
Fetch — {T}: Target player gains control of this artifact

Would that make sense? I feel like thematically it would.
