It'd be funny to see as a "trial" update, see if people generally like it, and if the majority of people like it, they keep it.

What about this
First off, a quick update on where we are with the character model and animation sources. After we got over our excitement of releasing them, we ran into a couple of problems:

* All the character modelers & animators are incredibly busy working on L4D2.
From the last blog entry. unless we've been lied to, there's no way they could make the dog+weapon models right now.

Id hate this. I'll cry if they release dogs as the 10th class.

I wish I never saw this. I will cry every time I play TF2 and see that I cannot maul scouts as a dog with a rocket pack on my back.

Well, the Valve modelers and animators would be too busy at the moment, but consider this...

Could this mean the original modeler would get to make the model for them?

Stupid speculation aside, this whole thing is pretty scary. The fact that they're posting it on the blog means they've definitely contacted the guy and worked out something, so... whether we like it or not, there's going to be something Guard Dog-related in the game.
EDIT: Well, ok, maybe not guaranteed, it might be a joke that the dog creator guy is playing along on, I just think it's likely.

I think it sounds like a neat idea for a class, even though this brings bad memories from the COD4 campaign. Killing dogs is so horrible. :<
