The dog likes to follow me when im burning fire wood if i don't talk for a while. I have to shoo it away?
It makes me suspect that its a bot catcher…but when it follows me its so obvious so i just shoo it away.
This is why jagex fails :)

Most people don't bother with the dog, especially if they have something to do. But try feeding it some raw meat for fun.

I doubt that it is a bot catcher, but it is an odd addition to the game.

Nice theory though…


*feeds it meat*

It's an interesting theory, but I highly doubt it is a bot catcher. It will follow anyone around. It just follows you around because it's begging for food. If you give it some bones you'll unlock a Varrock achievement.

In Varrock? That is a VERY old update (about 6 months ago) a Stray dog randomly follows people around, you should use bones on it, then shoo it away :)

I didn't know you could feed it meat, I only knew about bones, but yea, this is extremely old, unless the one person was thinking about summoning with pet dogs.

no that'd be a unriable bot catcher cause i don't shoo it away legit playing.

Wait was I right? Can you feed it meat? Cuz I think I mistook meat for bones, but if I'm right, yay me.

I have never shooed it away so it would be a unfair botcatcher in my opinion.

it's obviously a hacker trying to get your a/s/l and is probably a 40 year old man . No but seriously, this has never occurred to me. If it is true, Jagex is a bucket of phail sauce, giving us the option to get rid of it.

"Just because you aren't paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get you."

This idea is so stupid it actually made me smile.. I think jagex can do better than put some childish dog bot-catchers outside varrock -.-
