Does this dog buff stack? If I get 5 dogs, wil? I have a ~100 % immunity for the next ten years? Is there a cooldown? /j

I think it would, but the chance of breaking a limb tripping over a dog does increase!

It decreases with a larger dog…

Does the size of dog affect the buff? The average dog gives 24%, but does a 200lbs mastiff give more than a 4lbs chihuahua? Less?

From events over the last few weeks, I can definitively state that owning a dog large enough to drag you down icy steps is NOT conducive to longer life and can be quite painful

5x 24 = 120. You’re not just immortal for the next 10 years, you have 1 in 5 chance to revive the death as well.

What if someone else on the list dies before my designated time. Does the list reset?
