Labrador retriever

Labrador retrievers, called labrador puppies as babies, are a type of trainable dog. They are sometimes selected as the starter animal.

Analysis

Labs and huskies are strong candidates for hauler animals. Both are easy to tame, don't require a minimum skill to train, and don't ever lose training over time. With 0 wildness, they do not generate filth. As omnivores, they can eat meals, kibble, or any food you have lying around. A downside is that they can be hunted by predator animals, as opposed to cougars and bears.

Compared to the husky, a labrador is less combat effective (2.55 vs 2.82), eats less (0.64 vs 0.8), carries slightly less (56 vs 65), and has slightly more puppies per litter (1.937 vs 1.721).

Labs are one of the few animals that can nuzzle colonists, giving a +4 Nuzzled moodlet to colonists.
