Suicidal Overconfidence: "Dogmeat, don't get too close to that Deathclaw/Super Mutant wielding Minigun/forcefie-" (ZAP) "DOGMEAAAT!".Shout-Out: To the Canine Companion of heroes in both Mad Max and A Boy and His Dog.Dogmeat isn't around in New Vegas, but the player can find Rex the cyberdog as a replacement. The Fallout 4 dog is an entirely different breed from the one seen in 3, so it may be a descendant of Dogmeat after he bred with a female German Shepard, or it may be this trope. Legacy Character: There's a Dogmeat in all four main games.Killed Off for Real: The Vault Dweller's memoirs state that it's canon that the original Dogmeat died by running into a force field.The only thing keeping him from being Plus One is his lack of a long range attack. Infinity -1 Sword: Like Fawkes and RL-3, he levels up with the player with the Broken Steel DLC added for Fallout 3, and can end up with insane health by time you reach level 30.Fragile Speedster: Dogmeat has tons of action points per turn and a nasty bite.Everything's Precious with Puppies: Aor is he? With the Puppies! perk you'll never have to worry about his safety again! Whenever he bites it you'll just have to wait for a new doggie buddy to show up at Vault 101.The puppy is treated as if he were the original and is thus subject to the perk as well. Should Dogmeat get killed in the line of duty, one of his puppies/reincarnation will appear by the Vault 101 entrance a short time later.
