Dogs in game or not?

[Redshift 58]

So just had something odd happen in game. My buddy and I were scouting out Vybor. We crawled in and were attracting zero zombie agro when all of the sudden we heard someone come over voice chat asking what was up. I start scanning around me trying to find where it was coming from when I see a dog that is trailing zombies running straight toward us.

This seemed odd but I had to take care of the zombies first thing before figuring anything else out. Once we killed them the dog was still sitting there right next to me bleeding, and they guy comes on over voice chat again asking "Have you seen anything odd lately? You know, besides the dog".

At this point I figure that this was a hacker who made himself look like a dog somehow, so I logged off of the server. If im right it could have been worse, since he didn't seem malicious and in stead was just looking for a laugh. But yea.

So was this at all possibly legitimate, or was it in fact a hacker? Because as far as I was aware, dogs are not yet added into the game at all.

Edit: Was on US140

Well dogs being in AO is one thing, are they in DayZ was my question.

And I don't have two accounts, just the one.
