I know dogs are already a tentative yes, but I thought of some pretty cool implementation.

 

First you have to lure a dog to an enclosed building with food, and then begin training it. Dog (animal?) training would be its own skill, with different things you can teach your new companion at every level.

 

Brand new to dog training? You can only really keep it from running off on you.

 

Level 2-3? You can teach your dog to stop barking at zombies (which of course brings more of them around)

 

Level 4 would be sniffing out food

 

At level 5 your dog can sniff out other survivors.

 

 

 

I also think your dog should be able to attack zombies and other survivors, but has a chance of becoming infected when attacking a zombie (not turning into a zombie dog, since that's already a confirmed no, but the dog can still die of infection.)

I would like to train my dog to attack thieves that enter my base lol. I would leave it in a room with stored food/tools and tell it to only let me in XD.

I would be your dog. A can of dog food a day a pistol and somenroom to sprawl and tyrannically rule the fortress is all I ask!
