Been completely new to the game with no idea of the history of upgrades etc it just seems like a bit of an oversight given the detail that has gone into other aspects of game. Maybe he's just not a pet lover. I have heard many more americans keep their dogs outside in kennels.
Given my real life dog is more important to me than most people, had I known how to make a game like this no doubt much more detail would gone into the dogs and what they could do on the farm and maybe not as much detail gone into the other villagers!
