Does anyone know if the dog can be hurt/take damage?

In one sense, it'd be kind of stupid if it couldn't. But it'd also be nice if the dog was to be a game-long companion for you and unable to die.

I'm thinking it'd be a good idea to make the dog unable to die, but to be able to take damage and after having taken so much that it goes unconscious and wakes up only after the fighting is over, with low health. I will be annoyed if the dog just runs into the midst of a bunch of enemies and gets itself killed or even hit by my own attacks and I end up having to keep reloading to keep it from dying.

I think the dog is an awesome idea. Sounds like wicked fun, but I hope they opt for the going unconscious rather than dying.
