How to make friends with the Orange animal???

[IcewaterCreek®]

So I have played this game in its inception and just ran across an orange animal constantly looking in curiosity around at times. I get close to it, and it runs away but I see a prompt that says press E to "PET".
I try to pet many times as I chase, but it keeps running.
Any help? Can you make the cute orange animal stop?
Can you feed him? Have him be part of the team?
My kids wont be quiet about how cute he or she is.
Thanks.

Lizard Doggo, like Paleberries.
Step one find and collect one Paleberry
Step two Find a Lizard Doggo, without getting too close, but enough it notices you
Step 3 Drag and drop a Paleberry from you inventory to the ground, then back away from the berry, and the let the Doggo eat it...
Congrats you have a Lizzard Doggo Pet.

Step 4 - PET the doggo very shortly after he eats it or he'll still be a 'wild doggo' and run away again

One note about approaching the doggo:

Don't run to him. Walk. Just like you do it with any shy animal - or person.

Step 5. If a pet "bring" nuclear waste, throw doggo from a cliff. =)

It's generate random things in inventory. From slugs to waste. U can build farm for infinity slugs.

I am so sure that sure that this is true.

According to my experience it brings what is nearby. In a new area it brings slugs, but once I gathered them all it stopps bringing slugs. So maybe this "slug farm" would work if there are still slugs around which you didn't gather.

About preventing that it brings waste (or anything else)) there is a simply trick:
Put something in it's pocket,

It's just random. There's a big list of what they can bring. So the chances are pretty small. To increase the chances, you can keep 5-10 or more animals in a cage. It cannot be automated and takes time to check them. And there is no need to overclock anything other than a miner. Therefore, this is not a bug or some kind of exploit. Just another thing you can do in the game.

Would be interesting to see the code.

There are 2 sacred things. Do not ask a woman about her age and do not ask the developer to show his code. Just kidding, I'm not a developer. =) When I played a lot, I often checked my save in the interactive map. There weren't any slugs around my main base in a large radius, and the doggos were still bringing purple ones.
