Summary0004688: Hunting dogs do not help their hunter to take down prey
DescriptionIt seems hunting dogs don't assist the hunter take down an animal. Once the hunter has a creature targeted the hunting dog simply stops moving until the hunter has killed the animal with a rain of poorly targeted bolts.

I would think that the dog is supposed to assist the hunter by attacking an animal in melee to allow quicker unconscious kills. Or at least attack at all.
Steps To ReproduceAssign a hunting dog to a hunter. Have hunter go hunting. Observe dog behavior once the hunter is in range of some game.
Additional InformationI'm not entirely sure if this would qualify as a bug or an incomplete feature. But at the moment it seems to be more a detriment to have a hunting dog assigned to a hunter as a female hunting dog's puppies will scare away game. While when game is actually engaged, the dog does nothing to assist.
