0000802: War dogs are useless
I've just had a captured goblin thief escape from the cage (the old pitting bug is still there, apparently), then he fell into a stone trap, which knocked him unconscious, and here my war dogs caught up with him. They began to bite him, but couldn't cause any injuries whatsoever, in log there were messages like "The Stray War Dog bites the The Goblin Thief in the throat, but the attack is deflected by The Goblin Thief's (naked mole leather cloak)" etc, i.e. all the bites were deflected by clothes. I think, this needs confirmation, but if the dogs can't bite through clothes, they are completely useless.
Try to have your war dogs atack somebody.
