If you lived in a cabin in the woods during a worldwide apocalypse (nuclear, zombie or whatever) what animal companions would you want with you? (lemmy.world)

I'd choose a dog (most probably a German shepherd or a Belgian malinois) to do security around the cabin.

Befriend a wolf somehow and it'd do patrols outside the woodlands of any dangers and alert if needed. It can then communicate with the dog of any dangers ahead.

An eagle, to do aerial patrols around or beyond the woods like a scout.

grizzly bear mixed in for flavour.

That must have been one brave dog to mount a grizzly.
