[net.games.rogue] Can the wild hack dog be tamed?

     If the wild hack dogs can be tamed, they could be used to form a
formidable army, but I don't think that they can be.
     I've tried dropping tripe; the wild hack dog ignored it.  I tried blowing
a whistle; that didn't seem to work either (but there may be more than one
whistle for all I know).  Any ideas?

Well, I know that there is a scroll of taming, although I don't know its
characteristics.  That sounds like a good bet to me.

	  Who me?  I'm not even a REAL modo, I'm only a quasi-modo.

Throwing food directly at the dog has never failed me, but I've never been
able to get a (formerly) wild dog to follow me down the stairs.
