i'm currently working on a bigger animal follower mod but still looking for small mods to work on on the side, this is a neat idea. I'll give it a try tomorrow, do you wan't a unique texture? name or even any adjustments to the mesh/model?
i just learned how to edit meshes and this seems like something i can do, i'll look into it... just relised this is from 2015 and cant delete it... oops
