How it will work 

The Canine Unit is an investigative role trained in the art of forensics science and crime. The role itself is almost a mix of veteran and sheriff, in a way, that actually benefits town, while however causing problems due to the rolese they can find.

This role does not find out the exact role of somebody, whether they're mafia or not, or even if they work with dead bodies. However, they can find out if somebody works with blood, is covered in blood, or just as a whole is a possible role.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">This role is similar to veteran because of the dog itself: If you end up being attacked, the dog will defend you and kill only one target that attacked you. However, you will not die with them like bodyguard, and you will live like veteran. However, there is no protection against werewolves and arsonists for the purpose of balance.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">-If the target is any of the following roles (Doctor, Disguiser, Serial Killer, Jailor, Janitor, Vampire, Vigilante, Mafioso, Godfather) your canine will detect blood on the scene. It would tell you that it detected it, but it wouldn't say anything like it was recent. I'll explain why I see that some roles shouldn't be a part of it.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">-Veteran: Logically speaking, dogs are quite smart. If a dog were to go to the veterans house and have them alert, they would refuse to go on to the property due to danger. If it were a POLICE dog, that would be different. However, this is a forensics canine we're talking about. So therefore, it shouldn't have any effect at all.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">-Medium: While they do work with dead bodies, it doesn't mean that their full on body is there. A medium would communicate through the souls of the dead. Therefore, no blood can be found there at all.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">-Vampire Hunter: You would think that by staking vampires, they'd be covered in blood right? Wrong. Most vampires don't actually have blood in their body, unless it would be black. Canines are trained only to find natural human blood.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">-Arsonist: While the arsonist is a killing role REMEMBER! They only burn people. This means that no blood is left behind when they die. Not only that, but while dogs are trained to find dangerous subtances, they have seen gas stations before and it isn't unusual.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">-Werewolf: While this is a killing role, think about this: A werewolf is partially a wolf and a hound. If the canine were to ever even encounter that, they would probably run for their lives... It's how a dog reacts when a bigger dog encounters them. Therefore, nothing would be found.

<p style="font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:1em;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">If no blood is found at the scene of the crime, nothing will happen, even if that person was attacked. It shouldn't ever tell you who's blood is at the scene, it should just let you know. And while these kinds of dogs do find dead bodies, Town of Salem works differently and there's no way that BMG would impliment it into the game.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Extra things to know:

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">-If you visit the veteran and the veteran alerts, both you and the dog die, no matter what.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">-If a framer ends up framing your target, they would 'sprinkle the area with pig blood,' resulting in your canine finding blood.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">-If your dog dies and you're still alive, you can't investigate anybody anymore, since the dog does the work.
