Ok, so i have 2 female dogs that were brought along on embark (i just pressed "Play Now"). I then bought a male dog from the first traders that came along... BUT...

He is caged, and i cannot find how to release him. I cannot even find him other than the 'u' screen. Pressing 'c' to zoom into him doesn't work, and i can't even see him with the 'v', or the 'k'

I want to release him so he can get out and do his job as the only male of his kind, and give me a solid income of meat and bones... What have i missed?

If you build a lever then choose assign cage it should show a list of your cages, you can pick the one with the dog in it.
Otherwise, i don't know, if you can't zoom to the cage perhaps it's a bug?
Can you find his cage on the stocks screen, try zooming to that.

*facepalm* I needed an animal stockpile... he was just sitting casually in the trade depot, waiting to be moved to a place that didn't exist... Now to lever him out

[MarcAFK]

Oh yeah, i sometimes forget that most items aren't targetable while inside a wagon, inside the workshop that made it, or inside the trade depot. *facepalm*

You don't need to lever him out - "build" the cage, enter the building preferences and unselect him as a creature assigned to the cage. A helpful dwarf will come along and let the dog out.

Don't even need to build the cage. Just designate a pen/pasture and assign the dog to it, and a dwarf will release him.

saves me a lever thanks for that... i now have a copper cage to melt (or use if i need it), and a populous of breeding, incest dogs to eat.

Thanks guys...
