The gang should get a pet.

[ruairi46]

So what do you think on the matter, should the group get a dog or a liama or a wolf or even a zombified lobster. Do you guys have any ideas or views on the matter.

[jaybreezy]

I actually thought about this... Getting a dog might not be a bad idea. A dog could probably sense when there are walkers nearby before a person could. This would obviously come in handy.

Would have to teach the dog not to bark when it senses something though because that would just attract the walkers.

[G.Ross]

A zombie cow would be pretty awesome.

[franapbsilva]

Agree. It would be cool if they find a smart police dog, trained to bite walkers in the head, warn the group if there is a herd near and keep silent. And he could also help hunting.
If the group found a dog without those skills, it would be a meal...

PS: Horses would also be great; Kittens are useless....

Omfg that's a hint at the cow in ep 2 being a zombie.. and duck obvs hid the baby in his shirt. Thats how everyone's gonna die...

[franapbsilva]

I think they already have a pet: a duck...

It IS kind of surprising that there aren't more cats and dogs hanging around the humans, where the food presumably is. I wouldn't think the walkers are swift enough to catch and eat pet-size animals.

We haven't seen any zombified ones (at least in the comics and game I've read/played to date), which implies they're either immune to the infection or they all just died and didn't come back. Or they simply aren't of interest to the story being told here.

(It's kind of a shame, as it could be an interesting aspect of the primitive lifestyle the characters are forced into. What DOES happen to the domesticated animals that generally rely on humans for survival? There must be a lot of dead cows with burst udders out there.)

[RMJ1984]

They are always out of or low on Food. how long would that dog survive before its dinner?.

[donmike84]

maybe the group should get roger from american dad

[kikyouchanx]

Roger from American Dad would just annoy the group ^

[iamhere]

ever npticed theres no undead aniamls?
so what the infection only effects humans?

[ruairi46]

Undead bear would be sexy.

Sexy how?

[CapnJay]

A dog would be best for tracking fetching and protection. But heres what pets i think they'd ideally have

Clem- a Rabbit
Doug- a ferret. He reminds me of that guy in the alice garden pods in deus ex hr who says his ferret is his only friend.
Carley- A Cat
Larry- A Rottweiler {doesnt matter he's dead now]
Lily- Golden Retriever
Kenny- a Snake
Duck- a Duck
Kaatja- A canary
Ben- A pet rat named Ben

[WowMutt]

Everyone loves kittens

or a Beiber-Beaver

[Dr Lance VanBoobenHousen]

was gunna say the same thing lol. hey mabey they will give us a pet, and we have to decide weather to eat it and upset clem and duck, or to keep it and have it as a pet, you could even go up to it and talk like you would to a human character, you will get options A Pet. B Fetch. y. sit. x "so what should we do about kenny and lilly?"
