Dogmeat (Fallout)

Dogmeat is a dog that can be found in Junktown, he is parody to the dog Mad Max had in Road Warrior. He could be found terrorizing an old man in Junktown by 'guarding' the doorway to his house and keeping him out, and the protagonist could get him away for him by acquiring his companionship... either by feeding him iguana meat on-a-stick (or maybe even the human-variant! sic) or wearing a black leather jacket, which would remind him of his previous owner, who also had a such jacket, and believe it were he who returned.

Dogmeat appears in Fallout 1 and also as a part of an easter egg in Fallout 2. Was not going to appear in Van Buren.
