What does "warring" a dog do? I assume it boosts damage, but that bit is hardcoded so I can't see how much. Would war dogs beat an untrained bear in a fight? (I use modded war pigs because they're one size larger.

Turning a dog into a war dog doubles the damage it deals. Otherwise, no changes. I don't think a war dog could kill a grizzly bear, unless it got a lucky shot at its throat.

It also makes it brave, which is important.  Untrained animals won't fight

Not true. Every time I detect a kobold thief, three untrained dogs go tearing across the landscape trying to trying to catch him. Occasionally, they do catch him. Pain ensues, kobold thieves are rarely able to fight off even an untrained dwarf (I've seen one killed by a cat).

Yeah warring a dog does only 2 things. Increased damage, and makes the dog available for assignment to a dwarf.
