So I set up a gate in my walls where I have War dogs as guards.  It looks like this:


===0   0===
  |DCCCD
  |XXXXX   
  |XXXXX
  ============0

==0, |   - Wall
D   - Dog
C   - Cage Trap
X   - Stone Trap

So I had a Kobold thief try to come through the gate, the dogs detected him and he promptly got caught in a cage trap.  I set the cage to dump at my garbage dump which is next to a pit of lava (well 1 z-level above actually).  So someone grabbed the cage and went and chucked it off the side into the lava.  A couple seconds later I get a message that my War Dog was kill by a trap.

Now here is the wierd thing, the dog was on fire, the message I got in announcements said that he was struck down by a trap.  I don't have any traps that would burn anything?

Just wondering if anyone knows what the hell happened to my dog

When you capture something in a cage trap and then throw said cage into magma, its burning contents teleport to the location of the trap, for some reason. It's a known bug - in this case, the burning items set your war dog on fire, and he it unconscious on top of the trap, causing it to trigger.

Ahh good to know.  I'll take em out of the cage next time.  Thanks!
