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 can be petted and 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 message upon reaching zero health 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.
