Wild Dog

The wild dog is an innocent, neutral animal NPC that can be found in the first area and is easily confused with the hostile guard dogs. It is not guaranteed to spawn, but it is very likely that this harmless dog will spawn in one of the first three levels. It will never spawn more than once in a run, unless looped.

The spawn position of the dog will always be marked with a stick weapon, just laying there. This stick will stay there, even if the dog ran off.

The harmless dog can be identified by he unique look, the stick nearby, no reddish hue, and the missing alertness indicator.

The dog will not attack the player. However, the dog is easily scared and if that happens he will run away and despawn.

Taming
It is possible to tame the dog by playing fetch. It is important to not hit the dog or to fight with him closeby. Shooting your weapon or using explosives will also scare him away.

To play fetch it is best to use the stick, but every weapon, especially throw-ables or arrow weapons can be used. Just drop or throw the weapon in the surroundings of the dog and after a while he will pick it up and bring it back to you. Repeat this procedure a couple of times to get the dog as companion.

Playing fetch will also unlock the playable character Jim and Flint.

Trivia
The wild dog can easily be confused with a guard dog, which looks similar and is also a dog, but is hostile and has a reddish tint to it.
