Dogs refuse to eat?

For some reason dogs refuse to hunt or eat anything, and all die out of starvation.

I don't know what dogs eat, I've tried everything, but they are always starving, put an animal that is their food!

I tried spawning every animal around dogs, and then tried to put it in a civilization, thinking humans would feed it. The dog died of starvation.

I had that with a few (about 4) dwarves on a island.
Berries, livestock etc where available.

In the past I recall experiencing similar problems specifically with civilized (as in civilization-building) species not eating or really doing anything if there isn't enough room to build a settlement, leading to them dying of starvation just because the island they were on was a bit too small for their liking. However, I have not yet checked if this was fixed in the recent update. Just wanted to add my experiences onto this bug report.
