Id love to see a recreation of the dog. Its hard to get a sense of scale but the head looks quite big. Also:

Along with the dog, a small number of microchips were found which can be interpreted as grave gifts.

Microchips? Is that like chips of flint napping or were the ancient alien dudes on to something?

the original text has it as "mikrospån", which should be translated as microblade, a 3-5cm flint blade used to make microliths.
