0009658: Dwarf stuck in handle animal loop, no burrows, dog is right there
The dwarf and the dog are right next to each other. I think one of them might be stuck on an inaccessible tile of the Farmer's Workshop?

The burrow bug is well-known and work-around-able, but no burrows are active on this dwarf.

You can get out of the situation by using the DFHack command teleport on the dog to the tile outside of the workshop.

I suspect this is similar to cases I've had where keas shot down have ended up inaccessible in a farmer's workshop, as well as bits of reanimated hides/hair that's rekilled have been stuck in the workshop, forcing its destruction (hoping those won't reanimate).

The dog might have dodged something and gotten stuck, perhaps?

The "cancel X job, handling dangerous creature" is rather annoying when it has nothing to do with dangerous creatures (like a butcher who's spamming that he can't haul stuff to the trade depot, probably because he broke off a butchering job of a turkey to haul stuff to the depot).

The dog is indeed stuck on an inaccessible workshop tile. (0005709) Additionally, the only dwarf attempting to remove the workshop is the one stuck in the animal-handling loop. Enabling a farmer's workshop labor (cheesemaking) on another dwarf (and freeing up his schedule) resulted in an end to the stalemate.
