Mike found this gag-update through the official Team Fortress site. It’s a pretty cool idea, although I don’t know if adding a dog as the 10th class could really work. It might make balance issues a bit……. RUFF.
I’m sorry for that, but I mean come on, throw me a bone here!

Submissions are now closed, be sure to check out our new site!
Did you know the site has over 4,000 video game themed lolz?
Be sure to check out the link for the "full update!"
oh man… why does it have to be fake? i would definitely play as the guard dog all the time ( i have not played TF2 yet but i did buy it )
Despite being obviously fake(since the update page wasn't made by Valve) A lot of people think Valve is pulling a Jarate on us and believe that it's going to be real and there have been several topics on people blaming furries. Apparently they can't tell the difference between a normal dog and an anthropomorphic dog.
Handyside, the king of bad puns.
You have punned, and now you must pay the price.
I darn you to heck for half an hour.
That was horrible! You should be PUNished!
It might have been made by a fan, but Valve could still use it in the game eventually. The Blog post title does say "Patent Pending."
Like the profileless user pointed out below, it could happen. A very well done update page, and Valve seems to have acknowledged that.

I dunno, gentlemen. I will still hold a suspicion that this is a clever update strategy by Valve, like the Sniper/Spy update. If not, they may see it as a good idea; animal cruelty or not.

I don't care. I still believe in the gong.

You had me at "Jarate Dispenser" (see website).
Heheh, real clever hoax.
As Shawn said, PETA would get pissed. If they get pissed, please hand over the backburner.
it would be coool if they added the dog. only thing wrong about it that I can think of is when your playing the game and you see puddle of piss on the floor who do you yell at the sniper or the dog?
Aww…I wanted to see a spy on his hands and knees!
errrr did anybody say PETA RAAAAGE?!
seriously if this is added, valve will suffer from animal protectors!
wait, which is faster? the GuardDog or the Scout?
if the dog is faster (and real) then the scout is out of the job.
this actually wouldent be a bad idea……….
Good boy Shawn, good boy *pats head*

Awwww that is the cutest ball of death i have ever seen :D
this is a awesome idea.
and i cant believe it's getting considered.
it would be even better if i actually had the game.
i want it so bad.
of COURSE there are asses out there trying to ruin our hopes

That dog is a spy!!
Hmm..
I wonder if this is real..
Well how is it any different to any other game with animals that get pwned? Name a game and there's bound to be some mindless bunny beating somewhere…if anything it'd be better in TF2 due to the cartoony-ness of the graphics!
I sent Valve an email about why this update would be horrible:
I really think this will be a bad update. The whole thing just makes me angry. I do not want to hurt an animal, even if it's in a video game.
Making the dog track down enemies by sniffing their weapons/corpse is seriously just plain stupid. If I have been killed, I don't want the enemy to know exactly where to go to keep killing me over and over again. That'd make the game unplayable. Also, making it able to find disguised Spies is just.. wow.. I mean, really now. No one wants an enemy to keep interupting you if you're a Spy trying to go behind enemy cover. The guard dog would make it pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to play the Spy.
I like the idea that it can provide you with ammo/health in the battle, though.. But don't we already have Medics and dispensers for that?
Also, the Guard Dog would basically make the Engineer, Scout, Medic and Spy useless. It would probably be very fast(since it's a dog and all). It's basically a walking sentry. It gives ammo/health. And as the update said itself: It can track disguised Spies.

P.S. Please do not update Team Fortress 2 with an update like this. Keep updating it with good things though and I look forward for the next updates
That is the weirdest Alsatian I have ever seen…
On another note: doggy!
So i herd u liek puns.

Totally raping your enemies then pissing on them: Priceless
you know honestly I think it could work with proper tweaking the dog could be faster than normal but slower than the scout. (scout looks like he's doing pretty well. he hasn't been mauled yet…) maybe making the melee the more powerful attack meaning get a lot closer so there is more of a chance of killing it. Besides would Saxton Hale lie to us? He's too straightfoward of a guy

also it's amazing that one piece of fan concept art stirred up something so big
His piss could be usefull to win "Hydro" :D (*cough* *cough* Territorial Control *cough*). And I hate to be the buzzkiller but there's a grammatical error in the "Rage -- Mad dog"-achievement (Ubbercharge).
Plz don't flame on me D:
Attack dogs with guns & goggles. . .
We're screwed
Gah! if i see a whiney PETA fool trying to pick on Valve…
it's a goddamn videogame! did the PETA complain to ion storm coz you coould shoot stray animals in Deus ex?
as for the update itself, i think it's a bad idea, what purpose would the dog furfill? all the other team were desighned to work in harmony, but the dog would just be a stray gun and screw over the whole "team" part in team fortress.
if this, to my dissapoint, gets introduced, would we need a Vet class?
Hey would y' look at this! They might actually do it! http://www.teamfortress.com/1308.htm
I WAS TOLD WE WOULD BE FIGHTING MEN!
Giving the dog a BONK!
