Dogs breaking Restraints[edit]
It seems like I recall in an older version of dwarf fortress that a war dog on a restraint will chase anything that it spots (Like a kobold or goblin) and break loose of the restraint in this case. Is this still true in the newer versions or was that just a bug that was fixed a long time ago ?: P This one is hard to test as I have not gotten any goblins or kobolds trying to sneak into my fortress so far in the new version.--Railick 20:45, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Railick Stonemane
- I've never seen anything of the sort happen in either 0.23.130.23a or 0.28.181.40d. If it ever happened, it was a bug that was fixed a long time ago. --Quietust 21:51, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- Right-o thanks for setting me straight :P I've been not using war dogs on a restraint for that reason for a long time without even thinking about it.

Sentients being restrain?[edit]
Does anyone know if sentient that I've caught in cage traps or such can be restrain, or only (tamed?) animals? Thanks.
