The Dog License is a consumable item that can be purchased from the Zoologist for 5 GC after filling out 25% (135 entries) of the Bestiary.

Upon use, the status message "The license teleports away to the dog delivery service..." is displayed. Following this status message, a Town Dog will move into an available house the next morning. Using a second Dog License when a Town Dog is already present in the current world causes it to disappear and be "exchanged". The Town Dog then respawns the next morning with its name and breed rerolled.

Notes

• Just like any other NPC, the Town Dog requires valid housing with proper size, background walls, a table, a chair, and a light source. However, it can share a house already occupied by another NPC, although not with another town pet.
