For me new killer is a great idea but poor execution

I won't say anything groundbreaking, but the power of the new killer is simply weak. We get twins 2.0 and the dog behaves more like a missile than a second character.
It won't change much, but I will list my proposed changes below.

1)The dog should hurt when grab survivor. If the survivor was already injured, give the effect of deep wounds.

2) Houndsense should be applied when a survivor is detected or caught by a dog.

3) Search :

3.1) When the dog detects someone, it should run to him and catch him, not stand sadly and bark. But in return you can't use search during a chase.

3.2) The detection area should be much larger

4) I would suggest adding another command such as 'Stay', which would make the dog stay in place for about 15 seconds and turn into something like a trapper's trap. While this skill lasts, we can use it again and the dog will charge in the direction it is looking. (yes, I know a bit like an artist)
