Befriend-able Pups

My thought on this new idea is that it would help newer players and it will give other players a chance to get pups in exploring. It also says when you purchase a pup from Trading Center, "This wolf has recently entered the pack, either by Befriending or the Trading Center." so i think there should be a possible way to befriend pups that were chased from their previous packs or that have wondered from their mothers in the wild. 

~Thank you for your time in reading this, hope you have a wonderful day :D

Support! I think pups should be considerably easier to befriend than adults, but also rarer. Or perhaps tamed by offering food instead, bc they're shy of adult wolves, but presumably hungry?

yeah that's the kind of idea i was going at but couldn't really think of how to word it properly

I support! This would be a really cool thing to see while exploring, and it would allow for a lot more lore for those who like to make their own pack lore!

Oh! It would also make people more likely to chase cheap/low quality pups rather than trying to sell them, since there's still the chance they could go into the chase pool :v So it'd help the market a bit as well.

yes it would help a lot with the market problem we are having right now and some people have rare pups that they want to sell but end up chasing but they never get the chance to get into the chase pool

Please, full support. I've had so many people buy my pups and chase them even tho I say not to and it's so frustrating. Having at least a bit of hope that they'll be found somewhere and not just disappear would make me feel so much better when this stuff happens. I can't trust to sell my pups on the trading center anymore and they're too basic for a forum post on stockpile, but keeping them until they're adults is wasting precious resources

Support! Flavor-wise, it makes sense that nearly all abandoned pups/adols would die, but a lucky few might be found soon after abandonment and taken in by neighboring packs. I'd expect the chance to be significantly rarer than adult chaseds (which are already quite rare!) but not zero.

This would also be a huge boon to NBW trainers. If you get a heritageless pup at 2.5 months, you can give them +63 stats through pup training and a minimum of +12 through adol training, which is a huge boost in raw numbers and also in role stats. Of course, these pups would be very rare and highly sought-after - which is a good thing! We need rare things to energize the wolf market and get people excited. Imagine a flash auction for a 2.5-month-old NBW pup with a good initial stat roll. Stat trainers aiming for the NBW leaderboard would be so hyped.

Support, it adds more life to the game. I agree that they should be a rare encounter but much easier to please (since they're pups and like young kids irl are easy to please and are entertained easily)

I think if this were to be added it should be it's own encounter which would me much more rare than normal befriending encounters. This being because it's quite unrealistic as a pup would not be able to survive on their own without any life skills - they are completely helpless. Or perhaps this pool should be different from the current one in the fact puppies are cycled and only stay in the pool for so long before being wiped if not found to simulate them having been picked off or starved.

Just a little idea for the encounter text?
"The sound of low cries rings from nearby brush, you raise your nose to the air and sniff.. another wolf as well as the smell of... milk?"
or perhaps
"The sound of low cries rings from nearby brush, and investigating the brush you find a wolf pup who seems to have been abandoned by it's pack."
