In The Division 2 there will be some stray dogs. The agents have already taken them to their hearts.
That’s why dogs are currently a topic: During the test phases of The Division 2 players encountered not only hostile factions but also some animals on the streets of Washington D.C. Among them: street dogs.
The stray dogs do not just wander aimlessly but react to you and your actions.
Scared dogs whine and seek shelter
This is how dogs behave during shootouts: Recently, several posts appeared on reddit with pictures showing agents with frightened dogs in The Division 2. One such post even received over 60,000 upvotes on the general gaming subreddit:
During shootouts, the dogs crouch down and begin to whine anxiously.
This user also reports that during a shootout a street dog came behind cover to him, tucked its tail between its legs, and whimpered for help:
The reddit user writes that he stayed with the dog for the next few minutes to make sure nothing happened to the four-legged friend. He felt responsible for protecting the dog. His post has received more than 2,200 upvotes so far.
The agents criticize this: In the comments and in other posts, the agents are calling for these pitiable creatures to be petted, given food, or taken to the White House, the operations base.
Because apparently in The Division 2 it is only possible to coldly stare back when the dogs gaze at you with sad eyes. Players are asking Ubisoft not to include such poor animals in the game if they cannot be rescued.
Agents want to help dogs
One user suggests that this could become a mission. First, find a street dog, tame it, take care of it, and then make it the “dog of the operations base” where it can live a good life. Or even as a loyal companion running alongside you in Washington.
One user jokes: “[You can’t pet dogs], you can only Watch Dogs.” (“You can’t pet dogs, you can only watch them.”) Here he humorously refers to another Ubisoft game with “Watch Dogs.”.
In The Division 1, there were also dogs that you could neither pet nor keep as a pet. In the video, you can see dogs from The Division 1:
However, there is an “interaction option” with dogs in The Division: you can shoot them if you are a cruel person.
