In common with much of the other equipment used by the Pathfinders, the Neodogs of these Platoons are fitted with experimental modules, and are genetically enhanced through specialized breeding programs to be stronger, quicker, and tougher – vital for the missions they face alongside their Pathfinder masters. Pathfinder neodogs were the forerunners of the Mk II Neodog, now available throughout the Mobile Infantry, and were the first to use potentially any breed of dog as the basis of genetic reconstruction, rather than the Alsatian/wolf hybrids of the first calebs. Each Pathfinder Neodog carries a powerful explosive charge, ensuring that it has a good chance of a final strike against any enemies and also that it does not suffer greatly if mortally wounded.
