Town Dog

The Dog is a pet. It arrives the following dawn (4:30 AM) after the player uses the Dog License, which is purchased from the Zoologist for. The dog's only use is to be petted or to be used as an NPC for Pylons.

There are 6 breeds of dog, with one randomly being chosen when it arrives. If the dog is killed it will respawn within 1-3 days. Like the Angler, the dog's death message is " has left!".

The only requirements for the Dog are use of a Dog License and the presence of a valid House. The Dog's House can be changed, as with any other NPC, however the Dog can share the same House as another NPC.
