Solve Phil's Canine Conundrum

Solve Phil's Canine Conundrum is a side quest in Fallout.

Quick walkthrough

 * 1) Find Phil outside his home.
 * 2) Entice Dogmeat away with some iguana-on-a-stick, or by wearing a leather jacket.
 * 3) Recieve Dogmeat as a companion.

Detailed walkthrough
To start this quest, the player needs to go to the Casino area of Junktown. To the right of the entrance to the area there are a pair of people trying unsuccessfully to enter their house. The reason: a dog.

Simply wearing a leather jacket (which will remind it of its former master) or giving the pooch some iguana-on-a-stick to solve the quest and let the couple enter their house unmolested. There is a 100 experience reward for doing this, as well as the couple's thanks and a pet dog named Dogmeat as a companion, complete with lots of nifty bite attacks in combat.

Reward

 * 100 XP.
 * Dogmeat as a companion.

Behind the scenes

 * The application of the leather jacket is a reference to Mad Max.
