The Top 7 Good Dogs in Gaming

Some of the best puppers and doggos the gaming realm has to offer.

Dogmeat – Fallout 4

Where would this list be without the faithful presence of Dogmeat from Fallout 4? In the game, you encounter Dogmeat at the Red Rocket Truck Stop outside Sanctuary Hills. Upon befriending him, Dogmeat serves as your first real in-game companions, cheerfully tagging along at your side as you journey through the wastes in search of your son.

Not only does Dogmeat help keep loneliness at bay, he also has a solid set of skills which include the ability to track scents, carry items, and defend you from harm. Like that immortal Rick Astley song, Dogmeat will never give you up, and never let you down. What’s more, you can either choose to keep him with you, or command him to stay behind in the safety of your home base.

Why would you ever choose to leave him behind? Well, despite the fact that Dogmeat can’t be outright killed (a detail we definitely appreciate), he can be injured in battle. These injuries cause him to yelp and cry out in pain, which can be heartbreaking to hear. No matter who you decide to make your travel companion during your time in Fallout 4, you can’t deny is that Dogmeat is one of the best.

Just look at those big, trusting German Shepherd eyes!
