Dog Companion

[SPyRoManiAc 1]

If you are waiting to meet a friend or are just travelling across Chernarus alone it can get pretty lonely. I think a fun addition would be some sort of hunting dog. They would spawn in the wilds as wild dogs, but if you approached them and gave them food they would become yours and follow you. The dogs then could silently kill wild animals, but just in general follow you around. They might also be used to fight other players or could have some ability to sniff out and lead you to food/supplies. A basic set of commands could be issued to the dog (like a squadmate), telling him to stay/come/go certain places. Maybe they could have a bite attack to support you against zombies. For an added level of difficulty the player could be required to feed and maintain the health of the dog. If this was deemed to difficult it could be assumed the dog survives off of animals it kill or scraps it finds around cities, and that they dodged zombie attacks with their speed.

This is just the start of an idea, so post any other suggestions below.
