Good Boy

Good Boy adds 2 new dogs to the game.

Retrievers have the ability to chase Dog Toys, allowing you to play fetch with them! These precious puppies can be found in villages, and are tamed with bones. While retrievers will not protect their owners from attackers, they can be played with!

To get started playing fetch with your new companion, craft a dog toy out of a bone and a piece of leather. Dog toys can be thrown, similar to snowballs. Retrievers will chase after thrown dog toys, and bring them back to their owner!

Chihuahuas may seem small, but in the wild these ferocious dogs will attack anything they think they can rival!...which usually means large enemies. They can be tamed with bones, and with a pack of loyal chihuahuas by your side, you'll be imbued with their might and deal more damage!

Just like wolves, you can outfit both breeds of dogs with different collar colors.
