Known Issues:

DOG won't attack enemies on some HL2 campaign maps due to hammer scripts that makes them friendly. Sometime animations doesn't play correctly in multiplayer. Some addons that adjust NPC relationship can break this addon.

Why I made this?

I needed this since I got Garry's Mod in 2010. I always wanted DOG NPC that can beat the crap out of combines. I was dissapointed when I saw DOG does nothing and just run from enemies. So, this is why I made this.
