Minecraft is Getting Wolves – Adorable, Deadly Wolves

Markus “Notch” Persson, creator of Minecraft, confirmed via his blog that a new mob is coming: wolves!

“Jens spent most of the week working on a new mob; the wolf! You can tame it and order it to follow you around, and it’ll work as a pet. They’re fairly rare, but they won’t despawn once you’ve tamed them.”
