A wounded dog, potentially known as Buttface, Mutt, or Sparky, is a mongrel found in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Other interactions[]
- The Sole Survivor can interact with the mongrel and will be given the dialogue prompts to ask if there is anything wrong and then a second prompt to render help in the form of a stimpak will be available. Afterward, the right legs will be at full health in V.A.T.S. and the mongrel will walk normally. The third dialogue prompt has either asking her name or choose between the three names Mutt, Sparky, or Buttface. If having to ask her name instead of picking one she will then be labeled "Mutt" afterward. After the naming dialogue concludes Mutt will simply stay in the area until the encounter/zone resets.
- She will appear pleased at the Sole Survivor having relieved her pain, sometimes producing a teddy bear and happily tossing it about. She will also aid the Sole Survivor against nearby hostile enemies.
- If encountered during Reunions, Dogmeat will be hostile to her. He cannot kill her though and only knocks her down for a few seconds before she stands up again.
