How would you wield it? Sort of sword style, hacking and slashing? How about more of a throwing flail or whip? if you prefer ranged combat, why not construct a gun that can launch several smaller dogs?

I'm a fan of using a dog like a shield and wield it that way. The attacker swoops in, I block with the dog-shield, and then power on the counterattack.

How do you guys wield a dog? What's your favourite breed?
