Feature description

Trained Guard Dogs.

• Kennel where guard dogs would be housed.
• Ability to breed new dogs OR require players to go out and bring back befriended dogs.

Dogs would have a large detection range to agro monsters (and non-friendly players when PVP is enabled) and would attract the attention of wandering guards to the location of what they have detected.

Bonus things

• Level of hut would probably increase the number of dogs.
• Research to give them a larger detection radius.
• Ability to tether them to a location.
• Would require food.
• Perhaps allow the same thing for cats as well?

Notes or related things

I had the same idea. Maybe assign the dogs to either existing guards, or add new "canine unit" guards. Link the animal to the guard similar to a player "taming" a pet and have pet use normal Minecraft behavior for owner of pet to help guards fight, aka dogs attack what guard owner attacks, or what attacks guard owner. Also, passive abilities like cats scaring creepers would be great for guard duties.

maybe have like a researchable pet store that allows citizens to get pets to help protect them and then have like either a second building or extension to the pet store that is the canine unit allowing guards to have guard dogs
