Quotes

 *  "HOHOOO, BOY!!! Children, you are going to loooove this! OK, so you told you about James, the guy from the Vault. And then I told you about somebody else crawled out of it too. Right. Wwwwell, guess who came to visit ol' Three Dog and his luxurious studio in beautiful downtown DC! That's right, the other Vault Dweller! Now, you wanna know if it gets better, don't you? Well HELL YES, it gets better! Turns out Vault Dweller no.2 was none other that James' kid! I know, I know, I couldn't make this shit up!"
 * Raiders have one goal: make your life as fucking miserable as humanly possible.

 * His name could be a reference to American rock band, Three Dog Night, and one of his lines derived from their popular song One is The Loneliest Number.

 * Though both his head wrap and sunglasses are items on his person, the ones being "worn" are part of his model. Killing him and looting them will not cause them to be removed from his corpse; though the headwrap and sunglasses are taken away after you loot him for the PC/360 version of Fallout 3.

 * If you save while looking at Three Dog, then kill him by shooting his head and making it explode and looting his body of all his items; occasionally when you load your save, he will not have his glasses on.


 * If you shoot Three Dog's left arm off, the one with the wristband, his detached arm will be separated where the wristband should be. His body will also have an invisible arm in which only the wristband is visible.
