Sniffer should be a pack-horse

If the sniffer gets into the game, I feel like a potential use it could have, that I've seen echoed by a bunch of other players, is that it could be made rideable. Obviously that's not the main advertised feature, and we already have a handful of rideable animals, but I feel like what could set the sniffer apart as a rideable mob and make it worth doing would be the amount of items it could carry. Horses can carry SOME, but I feel as though an animal as large as the sniffer could probably carry SIGNIFICANTLY more, making it super useful as a packhorse, something that's able to carry LARGE amounts of items from point A to point B, drastically reducing the amount of trips required. Maybe it's a little bit slower (not too much, just enough to not make horses obsolete, and make the tradeoff between the two make sense), but the number of items it can carry on it would make it well worth the extra time it takes to get wherever it's going.

    First the sniffer has to be the most useless out of the 3 mobs. Riding this thing would be... weird, but ok.

    Most important to me is that riding the Sniffer would be fun! That's reason enough for me.
