I don't know if this is a feature or a bug, but I went to tell my shiba to follow and when I right clicked while holding a netherite sword, it took it in it's mouth. I panicked and tried right clicking again to take it back and then the sword disappeared.

I don't see anything in the notes about shiba taking items from you, and I can't recreate it with a stick. but it still takes any swords.

With a little more messing around, I discovered that you can retrieve items if you right click with an item in your hand, but not if your hand is empty.

Tried to reproduce this, but it always gives me the item back. Looks like some other mod might be conflicting
