It's been a while since I played the original stalkers but I am certain there wasn't as many packs of dogs as there are in this game. In nearly every mission so far there is a pack of dogs present. Fair enough you can sometimes dodge them and getting on top of crates they disappear so you are given a better chance of escape but still, there are too many packs of dogs in this game.

The mission I am doing now is a joke, the mission where you go to the bandits to ask about Squint at the warehouse. The dogs are easily avoidable because they don't follow you into the building where the bandits are but the communication between them always ends up as pay them 1500 tokens or attack them. It's obvious which option most would take and that is attack them but as soon as you do the dogs run into building meaning you have both the dogs and bandits to deal with. What a joke!

There are a lot of dogs, yes, but they are weak af at least on Stalker dif. They don't really do any damage and are oneshot with the starter pistol in the head, two on the body. The bandits in the warehouse aswell, One pistol shot in the head and they are dead. But thats on Stalker difficulty, don't know how it is for the higher difficulties.

Done that part of the mission now and yes it is not that difficult (darted in and out of building to kill dogs. Needed to use 1 bandage and 1 medipack to kill bandits though but did get medi back off floor
