Your dog idea sounds like a mix between a couple of other games - Mabari war hounds in Dragon Age and the inventory dogs/cats from some other game I can't recall the name of right now. Is that what you were thinking of?

Right now you can whistle near a dog in town and get it to follow you and point out wild game. Having a dog like Rufus that you could call up whenever you're going out hunting would be kind of fun.
