what is AToC?

Zombie dogs was suggested just after I posted this thread. I dont see it working though, it wouldnt fit with the virus/story. A virus is pretty host specific. Wild dogs though would work as it could be those that are tamed. Once tamed you could throw a stick for them (flush them zombies out), you will have to keep feeding them though and in return they offer slight protection, advanced warnings in the form of a growl when zeds/survivors/bandits are near. Needs to be simple though, if too complex and it could turn into a tamagotchi shit fest. .

anything is better than twilight

you could tame the wild ones to win their trust. Bribe them with food http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2601

You should have to post a photo of yourself with a real bread to be allowed one in game. You cannot simply give beards away

I'd like a dog. He could protect me, warn me with a growl if a zombie is near or if he has picked up the sent of another survivor/bandit in the vicinity. I wouldnt use him as zombie bait when I play fetch (much) even though Im sure he could out run them. He would help keep me warn and safe on cold nights in the forest. I would take him hunting for rabbits and let him eat what he catches. He would lead me to fresh corpses and let me keep what I find. I would share my beans and sardines with him to keep him nourished. I could place trust in him, He would have my back and I would have his. I'd call him Zed, my best friend in the apocalypse. (I wouldn't eat him)
