Adds the possibility to adopt a dog, that behaves naturally and feels alive.
A comprehensive dog mod built from the ground up. Initially began as a personal project, but evolved into a feature rich system with breed specific behaviors, advanced AI interactions, and unique mechanics like hat fetching and prey retrieval. The mod focuses on seamless world integration: your companion adapts to combat situations, camp life, and exploration while maintaining persistent appearance and realistic animal behaviors
Color:
Persistent appearance: Dog’s coat color/pattern is saved and maintained across game sessions
Consistency: Prevents random color changes that break immersion
Herding:
Unique Feature: Dog can drive deer and other prey animals toward your position
Tactical Hunting: Activates when you’re aiming at animals: dog flanks and pushes them into your line of sight
Breed Specific: Herding breeds (like shepherds and poodles) excel at this behavior
Smart Positioning: Dog calculates animal movement patterns and positions itself to guide them effectively
Prey fetching:
Core Mechanic: Dog automatically detects and retrieves small game/birds you’ve hunted
(exclusive to Poodles and Retriever breeds)
Intelligence: Distinguishes between prey you’ve killed vs. natural deaths – only fetches your kills
Practical Benefits: Saves time collecting scattered small game, especially birds that fall in hard-to-reach places
Limitations: Won’t fetch large game (realistic behavior), has cooldown periods to prevent spam
Hat fetching:
Universal Retrieval: Dog detects and retrieves any hat you’ve dropped, regardless of how it was lost
All Situations: Works in any context – combat, exploration, accidents, or intentional drops
No Limitations: Unlike other mechanics, hat fetching has no situational restrictions or cooldowns
Usage:
To adopt a dog, simply start petting it and press the “Adopt” prompt, then choose his name.
It will be yours forever.
Installation:
Requires Scripthook (preferably V2), simply put the .asi and the .ini files in your game folder.
Not compatible with Dog Companion. Use one or the other.

even though the description says “preferably v2”, this mod won’t work with ScriptHook v1. at least not for me. it seemed fine for a while, and then started crashing with error messages saying it was due to this mod. really too bad, it is a very good mod.
Its working but only guns fight time he gone out of range 🙄
