Dogs are animals that can be found in Fallout 4, and act as companions towards humans. There are a few different distinct breeds of dogs, Dogmeat for example is a German Shepherd Dog that may be a companion to the Sole Survivor.
Background
Most commonly seen as feral beasts that plague the wastes and kill livestock, they are necessary for many struggling wastelanders. There is also the rare cases of domestic breeds that act as companions towards their human counterparts.
Humans are the only species known to truly tame and domesticate these canines. Although other types of sub/meta-humans show an interest in doing the same, dogs of all types, including feral dogs, are well-known to attack or flee from them on sight.
Characteristics
They are fiercely loyal to their owners. Before the war many of them had fur, but now many of them have lost it and have begun to look pink. Some mongrels will attack on sight but can be pacified.
Biology
Through the 200 years since the Great War, dogs have remained relatively unaltered by radiation. Other than that, there is no reason to believe that the biology of dogs in the Fallout universe differs from dogs in the real world, besides having a rougher appearance than domesticated dogs, unsurprising in the harshness of the wasteland.
Two mutated counterparts of dogs can be found in the Commonwealth: the ghoulish mongrels and the FEV-exposed hounds.
Gameplay attributes
Dogs, unlike in previous Fallout games, have special animations where they can grapple enemies down to the ground and hold them in place allowing their masters a brief advantage in combat.
Variants
Attack dog
Attack dogs are domesticated dogs, with a degree of training. They are usually seen in raider camps or with Gunners, Minutemen or Brotherhood of Steel patrols. They are sometimes equipped with various pieces of dog apparel.

Pack dog
Found in the Bradberton Amphitheater, these dogs are owned by The Pack. They will turn hostile if The Pack is attacked. These dogs can either be mongrels or junkyard dogs, and often have dog armor equipped. They can spawn battling in the cage fight arena against other entities, such as Pack captives, or be wandering around the amphitheater.

Notable dogs
- Dogmeat - Companion of the Sole Survivor.
- Kate - Abandoned dog at the Neponset Park overpass.
- Kyle - Abandoned dog at the Neponset Park overpass.
- Junkyard dog - Possible purchase via a random encounter with the dogs owner/ breeder, Gene. The junkyard dog is not a companion but rather assigned (like a settler) to any Settlement. When the dog arrives the designated settlement receives 5 Defense rating buff. (Looks vary at random from Rottweiler to mutt) and as a level 1, has 180 Hit Points so most likely actively defends the settlement also. (This is repeatable and will have a new dog to sell on each encounter)
- Teddy - A caged dog located at Fairline Hill Estates.
- Duke - Possible purchase via Erickson in Horizon Flight 1207, fills the same role as a junkyard dog.
- Jerry - Same as Duke.
Notes
- Finding armor on killed attack dogs, normally found accompanying raiders, will allow one to equip it on Dogmeat. However, no resistance is gained by equipping them.
- dog cages included as part of Wasteland Workshop. Caught dogs will increase a settlement's happiness and defense levels. Mongrels, on the other hand, will decrease happiness and increase defense. Dogs can be caught for a settlement using
- mongrels, while others are simply junkyard dogs. Some pack dogs are actually trained
- Creation Club: Black Labrador, Chocolate Labrador, Yellow Labrador, Shiba Inu, Rottweiler, Pitbull, Husky, Great Dane, Golden Retriever, Dalmatian, Boxer and Border Collie. There are 12 additional (non-follower) dogs available for purchase from the
- There is also a device that can be bought from the Creation Club called a 'transDOGrifier' which gives four new coat options for Dogmeat as well as letting one change his breed to any of the above that have been purchased.
Appearances
Dogs appear in Fallout 4 and its add-on Nuka-World.
