Summary0001987: (Pigtail Dress) > Trained War Dog x 16
DescriptionDwarf went berserk. Got swarmed by 16 war dogs. Not a single hit landed by the dogs I'm afraid. Soon my Axe squad arrived to put her down. Combat report stated that the dress deflected all blows from the War Dogs.

This seems kind of absurd. Some sort of rebalancing needs to happen with the dogs, maybe give them a bonus to grappling with their mouth because of their teeth. Right now War Dogs are useless except as distractions.

Note: Only time military brought an axe when ordered to kill.
Steps To ReproduceHaven't tried yet.
Additional InformationWar Dogs did give a 3 scars to a Draltha that killed my fortress however. Something must be working right here.

Yes, clothing/bite interactions are kind of bugged - this has been known for a very long time.

As such in order to encourage slightly more centralized discussion I'm marking this as a duplicate of 0000744 (same circumstances, different animal).
