Have you had a dog in the world of Middle-Earth? It's not as fun or as interesting as it seems. Firstly, there are occasions where you lose them in Fast Travel, or simply because somehow they aren't able to follow your character. For those who play alone, they find companionship through their pet friends they find on their little adventures or an enhanced experience for them.

DOGS I feel like having dogs aren't at all worth having in Middle Earth. Like what I mentioned above, they have a few bugs (which I will go over). Firstly, "how to find dogs". Simple, have them in all forest biomes (aside from Lothlorien, and Mirkwood), if not already. An interesting feature would be to have them be different colors, commonly grey or bronze-brown, or uncommonly black, and rarely white. And of course, once tamed they keep their color (that way they have variety) To make dogs worth having, they should growl at the enemies of their owner (through their alignment, of course). They should also have a chance of scaring off bandits from robbing you. And barking if a structure is nearby, OR an oasis in a desert (Possibility, could be hard to code). I believe that dogs should be more connected to the player when it comes to traveling, I'm not sure how it could be coded, but if dogs could not get lost while traveling horseback or through fast travel, it would be a big fix.

CATS Though not as loyal as dogs, they can be just as useful. Domestic Cats should be found around Village and Town structures (Similar to the 1.14 update to Vanilla Minecraft). Ocelots should be found in the Far Harad Jungle, Cloudforest, and Bushlands. To have cats more worth having, they should have catching fish faster once around. While also hissing, when near enemies, however not as reliable as dogs. Whenever traveling, they should catch rabbits or chickens and give raw rabbit or chicken to the player.

I don't have much else, but for a player that enjoys having animal friends around, this would be great to have while on adventures.
