Explanation

Bug to permanently lose the Houndmaster's dog for the rest of the game.

This happened on RPD East, bottom floor, eastern side, on the god pallet that leads to the northern outside area below the stairs. The survivor threw the pallet, with me on the other side.

As I used the Chase command, Snug vaulted over the pallet as the survivor did, essentially swapping sides. This counted as a grab despite Snug now being on the other side of the pallet, and after hitting the survivor into the injured state, Snug disappeared from the entire map for the rest of the game (5+ minutes), meaning the only part of my power I could use was swapping the current command, with no way to actually use the command.
