Love the tame wolves. How about giving them more to do. Wolves should have longer range senses. how about a
growl if a monster is with in 10-15 squars of the wolve. This would give it's master long enough to look up and see what is going on. This would work great for creeper sneak attacks. Some of us love to travel the surface however as
we gather raw materials we quickly run out of space in our inventory. How about a small wolve drawn cart that acts
as a moble chest.
What would happen if you were to build your house on the surface, and you were 8 blocks above a cavern with monsters in it, yet you can't tell there's a cavern there? Your wolf would constantly growl, and that would get annoying.
Same thing, but reversed. What if you're in an underground base, 10 blocks from the surface, and night falls? Monsters would spawn up there, and you'll never hear the end of your wolf's growls until morning. It would get annoying FAST.
Not a good idea after all.
The second idea;
We already have mobile chests, in the form of minecarts. And, at least, those won't jump off a cliff, or into lava, if you don't keep an eye on them for 5 seconds.
I think that wolves should also drop an item of sorts. Perhaps a tooth? To craft a dagger with or something like that. That would make attacking them have some point. I have also noticed they are very weak, hostile wolves only take 4 punches to kill, I think it should take more like 10.
Just trying to come up with more things for the wolve to do.
the dog cart idea came about because I'm not really into the minecart aspect yet.
Well obviously, that's not working out for you. The "trying to come up with more things" part.
I agree that they should have a drop. Every other mob does, except this one. What gives? I know it's been added only recently, but it must've been planned for a little while. Couldn't he code in something that they'd drop? Wolf Claws/Teeth/Pelts. SOMETHING.
As for the "dog cart" idea... You're just being selfish. You want that because you don't like the minecarts. Well excuuuuuuuse me, princess. That's how the game is. It's Minecraft, of course there will be minecarts. You don't have to use them if you don't like them, but that doesn't mean that you should force other players to have a duplicate of something just because you don't like the original.

Just when you thought you had thought things through (mouthfull) someone
comes along and points out the obvious.

Plus, that'd just waste Notch & Co's time.
