Background Information

This mod prototype was created by HennySea. His prototype works only in offline mode. I got an offer to finish this mod. I added server logic and new code for selecting dogs. A lot of friends helped me purchase assets from cgtrader and turbosquid. Genius modellers [Leo] and Sajid_Alfa helped import these models to into the game. Rag Tyson helps me with dog shed models and their scripts. Mrtea101 did custom animations. MarioE and MDC given me lot of very useful hints. I must say this mod is just teamwork. Thanks guys for help with this mod!
