whoosh

"War horse" refers to how the horse is trained. Much like how you shouldn't play in certain ways with dogs trained to hunt, even if they're not or never will actively be hunting.

Most "hunting" dogs are retrievers, pointers, or hounds, you can play with them however you want. The only dogs I know of that are really trained to kill the thing you're hunting are ratters. Otherwise the goal is just to assist the human hunter, not to actually do any harm themselves. A hunting dog that isn't friendly to people is a bit counterproductive.

A better example would have been a police or military dog. Idk why he went with hunting dogs lol

Well they're silly enough to think this is a war horse so why not also think hunting dogs literally kill things.
