Dog

Dogs are one of the most useful domestic animals. They can be traded for in many villages, and come in two different colors. There is no difference in ability between them. Not only are they able to carry 22 pounds of equipment, they can fight for you, and are very good at doing so. Anything which is aggressive towards you (has red dashes showing) will be targeted by your dogs. Be warned, though - once off the leash, they will not necessarily return to you. Dog hides give leather when tanned.

A dog needs to be put on a leash as soon as it is bought or it will run away. When you buy a dog you are also given a rope. Apply the rope to the dog to leash it.

Dogs will stop running away and circle a small area for several turns if a hunting horn is used.

(3.16) Dogs need to be fed regularly and will bark in hunger whenever they need food. To feed dogs, drop food within their reach and leave it there. Throwing food at the dog is another quick way to do this. Dogs eat at least raw meat and fish, fat and some cooked meals.
