Zombie Dog attack in the Trading Post - BUG?
I had just entered the trading post to turn in a quest.
I was heading up the steps when I heard the dogs growling and fighting.
I turned towards the gate and saw 6 zombie dogs jumping around and one jumped on the back of another and thru the top most 'opening' in the fence.
It was lucky I had found a pistol and had some ammo recently as I just started a new game two days ago.
I was able to take them out one at a time, except for the last one who remained stuck outside.
I took two screen images, and I am trying to figure out how to attach them here.

I am not sure which part you are worried might be a bug, but it all sounds normal to me.

Zombies can get over trader walls by jumping on other zombies. That is not a bug.

Things can attack you inside trader walls. The trader is not a "no combat allowed" zone. The trader structures and the trader themselves can not be destroyed. That is the extent of the trader protection.

If zombies or animals get inside because you left the door open, by jumping over the walls, or vultures attacking from the sky, they can and will attack you and possibly kill you.

Not a bug. Zeds and animals can get inside trader posts. It's been like this since a17 off the top of my head. Whenever the ability to jump on each other was added.

I'll help you out on the last part for future reference. Here is a good guide of how to take screenshots and then post them in the forums.

Also good to know - Normally a Zombie is 2 blocks tall, so if a doorway-sized opening is blocked on the bottom you can safely attack the Z in the chest or head, but a ZDog, Wolf, or Bear has a chance of jumping through the 1x1 block opening and wrecking your day. The fence of Trader Joel (tree-house trader) seems to count as only partial cover, so the animals mentioned above can get lucky and jump through it. One method of blocking animals jumping through that 1x1 doorway opening I use to attack through is to fill the 1x1 opening with an open hatch (you could use a flat panel, but you risk the opening having so many hit points that the Z's just go to a nearby wall; hatches and doors count as half HP relative to other blocks).
