Dog Disappeared For no reason. Is this a bug?

[OmarTheInsomniac]

I was on the fourth island and had just destroyed the cliff portal. My dog was never kidnapped by the greed and was still with me before AND after i destroyed the cliff portal.(I made it out of the cliff portal successfully without losing my crown and the dog was still present). I had already built the ship earlier so i got inside and travelled to the first island. When i got there the dog had simply disappeared and was nowhere to be seen. I even went back to the fourth island after i was done destroying all the portals on the first island hoping that might get him to reappear but he was still gone. Is this a bug and the dog is just permanently gone from the rest of my campaign unless i lose my crown and get him from the second island again? I'm playing on the shogun setting if that matters.

If you're 100% sure the dog was with you right before boarding on the 4th, and that wasn't there when you arrived on the 1st land, then it's a bug. I've never seen this happen, and I don't think there's an easy way to fix it. Do you remember if the dog jumped on the boat (he usually jumps after the hermits)?

There were alot of archers walking where the boat was so I couldn't see him when i boarded but he was definitely still there when I got out of the cliff portal.

The dog / pup has become a sore point for me playing the game, just ditched another run because I can't see the flaming thing due to the visual clutter.

As for the glitch being mentioned - noticed whilst boarding to change islands that the wolf pup ran beside the boat for a while before jumping on - maybe it's left behind if the user skips ahead before it boards? I'd test it but currently hacked off with the game lol

I had the same issue multiple times. The dog was not kidnapped by greed since I already destroyed the 4th cliff before boarding to 5th island. When I arrive at 5th island, the dog simply disappeared and it happend multiple times. I guess the bug happenned when we travel by teleport right before boarding the ship, so the dog was far away in our screen and not boarding with us, and he disappeared forever

i have had that issue playing shogun, i also had it where there were two dogs and mounts. its probably a bug, but by that point im already annoyed with the dog! why? cuz that mofo will not keep up! the dog does not need to follow when going past portals or outside the walls. but needing to get past a portal and that dog decides to take his good old time and then get kidnapped, wtf. ugh. or well be at the wall and he goes outside of it and gets kidnapped. lol

It feels like an accidental behaviour that the devs have written off as an added challenge for players. IMO it's an annoyance and buzz kill, the dog is the reason the game went from being my go to chill out game to the digital dust collection pile.

Have you guys tried their newest version with the BMX? Opinions welcome if you have :)

I know I'm not helping, but I've had situations where I had two dogs :-). Be happy the irritating barking sound is gone :-).

Lol double dog envy is real.

Curious to know how to execute that glitch and whether the game yeets both of them if one is captured, any idea?

Agreed, the dog barking is way over the top. I was actually actively trying to get it to be taken by the greed, I was so tired of it.

Lol, I do the same, either I don't play with a dog, or when I accidentally free it, I make sure it gets taken :-)

The cruelty towards the dog comes from the devs, not us, we want to like the dog but those pesky devs straight up hate doggo. No kennel, no food or water and they leave it underneath a tree that's balanced in such a way that the dog can't move it but a coin dropped in the general vicinity of the tree will free them. Are we the bad guys?

Random thought, if we could tie the dog to the stable, that'd solve the annoyances.

Did they even bother to chip the dog so it could be reunited with its worried human companion?

Just a bit of banter, nothing but love for the team

The same bug just happened again but in Norse lands this time. Now I'll have to go through the remaining 4 islands without the dog. I was hoping this bug would have been fixed by now. sigh.
