Humanity's best friend is coming to Old School RuneScape, and seeing a low-poly shiba has me temporally disoriented

Low-poly dogs have invaded Old School RuneScape, igniting chatter among fans. Jagex has introduced a members-only quest called A Ruff Situation, allowing players to adopt their own canine companion. The quest, accessible to those at crafting level 15, tasks players with aiding Talia and Chase at the Ice Mountain's dog shelter. Upon completion, players can choose from 12 breeds, including the pub and shiba, and watch their puppy mature under their care.
Once grown, dogs can assist players in Treasure Trail steps, digging more efficiently. However, caution is advised as dogs may flee if their owner dies in the Wilderness. A new crab quest also awaits level 40 sailors and fishers, offering a chance to converse with the crustaceans on Dognose Island. The addition of low-poly dogs, particularly the shiba, feels like an alien presence in the game, highlighting how much dog breeds have evolved since the MMO's inception.
