Scavenger's dog

These dogs are found around scavenger's encampments, and will be friendly to you, as long as you do nothing to the scavenger. Note that the nomadic scavengers don't usually keep their dog companions nearby, and if a scavenger is killed by something other than the player, the dog will pursue their master's murderer, until the killer is dead, or the dog itself dies. These dogs have moderately less health and attack damage than vicious dogs.

There is a karma loss for killing the scavenger's dog, as well as the scavenger themselves and/or the scavenger's brahmin if he or she has one. Furthermore, scavenger dogs will attack if the player continues to pursue the scavenger even after a warning is given.

As the scavenger's dogs share a model with Dogmeat, they are the same breed and have the same type of heterochromia. Scavenger's dogs are significantly weaker than Dogmeat.
