Dog mechanics

Dogs have been in Minecraft for a long time but you don’t actually do anything with them. They follow you. The kill for you. They sit down. Imagine if you could throw an object and a dog could run to it and bring it back to you. Like fetch. Or if you could pet it and the more time you spend with it the more useful it gets. You could give it a treat and it could go and smell for ores or buried tressure etc maybe even structures. Imagine taking your dog mining and it leading you to diamonds. Dogs are quite boring currently and I think they need a big update. I think that they could give you a sign if a mob is nearby or you could tell it to find you a biome. There are so many possibilities and so much potential that isn’t being realised.

    I think Minecraft should Update Dogs in 1.15 like how they updated cats in 1.14

    They should growl when they detect a hostile mob making it a little easier to catch that creeping creeper.

    I also wish you could let them walk without following you because I hate to see them sit down all day.
