[HWP] Attack Dog

It ain't a joke. Buyable X-Com dogs.
Known issue: accessible inventory screen, no way to disable it without code change.

PirateZ need it. With grenades, of course. Or with bottle of rum,  dog-medic ftw.

1. Yeah, go ahead, try throwing a grenade with this dog, we'll see how well it goes with Strength 2 :P YOU of all people should know you can't have 2 fix'd weapons... at least not until you code it :) But to think of it... dogs can carry things, can't they? :)

2. Sure, it's free to use for any modder. To complete the credits, the dog is a converted Wolf3d sprite.

3. Yeah they will be integrated, I just wanted dogs for everyone first :)

I *thought* I saw the similarity but I was telling myself it couldn't be so... Thanks for confirming my suspicions  :)

Alien hunting season is officially opened 8)
As it counts as HWP, will it score as tank when the dog is kill?

Some more suggestions:
1) Antigrav unit for flying attack dog

2) Exploding anti-tank dog
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dog
Spoiler:

and of course:
3) Incendiary pigs  ::)

3) Incendiary pigs  ::)

4) Explosive cows. Those can be found in farms and can be detonated by hitting them with gunfire ::)

5. Homing pigeons. Just to humor Volutar who said this would be the lowest of the lows an infidel modder like me could drag this game into :)

Although this could be problematic as the bullet sprites are being clipped by OXCom engine to height 3 since a few months...

If any of you watch Beaglerush doing his Xcom2012 stream on twitch, you'd have seen one of the chat guys (hardcase iirc) post an art piece of an xcom alsatian savaging a sectoid. Worth looking for if it's on deviantart or something.

I just mention this as I expect you'd get a kick from it. Hilarious and awesome. And possibly inspiration for all I know. :)
