📋 About This Mod
1. Meeko, Vigilance, and Stray Dogs are now huskies, and have appropriate stats.
2. Dogs will only bark while sitting (i.e when you interact with them). This applies to all dogs.
3. When they do bark, the sound is quieter and lower pitched. This applies to all dogs.
4. Dogs will be totally silent (except footsteps) while you are in stealth mode - no barks, whines, scratches, panting, sniffing, etc. Once again, this applies to all dogs.
This mod is compatible with anything that doesn't modify these three NPCs or the dog sounds, including multiple follower mods etc. Redundant with other mods that change bark idles.
This mod transforms Meeko, Vigilance, and Stray Dog into huskies and removes most barking, making dogs silent while sneaking. It's a simple cosmetic and audio tweak for Skyrim players who want quieter, more stealth-friendly canine companions.

For Skyrim players who use Meeko, Vigilance, or Stray Dog and want a husky look with quieter stealth. Also for stealth archers or assassins who hate barking ruining their sneak. Skip if you want changes to all dogs or if you prefer the original dog models.
