KNOWN ISSUES

Because GTAIV was never designed to have dogs, the dog model has collisions of human model. That means if you shoot above the dog he will be hit. Some animations may look weird too as they are not prepared for 4 legged model.

Also I can't block the dog from LCPD:FR arrest or frisk functions. After gun point arrest dog will be deleted and spawned again immediately. On normal arrest-then cancel he will act as usual but with arrow above. DO NOT perform frisk on dog or it will crash LCPD:FR. Sadly, for now, I can't fix that as scripts can't communicate with each other without an API.

Installation
