Three Dog

Three Dog is the DJ who runs the Galaxy News Radio. There he plays classic tunes from the 1940s and 1950s (like "Maybe" and "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire") and announces news.

Three Dog is a classic example of a revolutionary radio personality. He calls himself a disc jockey despite the fact that he doesn't know what a "disc" is. He frequently mocks the other popular radio station, Enclave Radio. This mocking manifests itself as impersonations of President John Henry Eden's voice and speaking style.

Three Dog also encourages his listeners to continue "fighting the good fight" and encourages Good Samaritanism. Among his objects of praise are the Brotherhood of Steel, whom he commends for fighting for the people of the wastes. Three Dog also provides steady updates on the player's progress and actions, though he rarely knows the full story and is necessarily vague about the events he describes. Depending on your karma, he may speak of you in a positive or negative light.

Three Dog also provides Public Service Announcements containing instructions on topics from radiation management to weapon maintenance to the folly of feeding yao guai.

If Three Dog is killed, he is replaced as the announcer by Margaret the technician.

The voice of Three Dog is performed by Erik Todd Dellums.

 * It is I, Three Dog, your friendly neighborhood disc jockey! What's a disc? Hell if I know, but I'm gonna keep talking anyway."
 * "What the hell is going on down there? Revolution? Vacation?…Somebody fart?"
 * "Hey nifty America, this is your president, John Hen…[laughter]"
 * "Hear me and Obey!…Oh, sorry, that's that other radio station…"
 * "Cause one dog ain't enough and two is too low, it’s me Three Dog."
 * "Never forget the importance of periodic weapon maintenance; rifle, pistol, police baton, I don't care which. If your weapon is falling apart, the only wasteland asshole it's going to kill is you. So be smart. Salvage those parts and make repairs whenever you can."
 * "And now, a public service announcement: Don't feed the Yao Guai. That is all."
 * "And by the way, you look like a total freakshow in that mask. Sorry, but someone had to say it."
 * "Whatever you have, they want, and they're not really into asking politely."
 * "And for god's sake, don't go waving the white flag! They'll just strangle you with it."
 * "You look like someone with about a million questions, lay it on me."
 * "Tick, Tick, Tickity, means run your ass out of there."
 * "They are pretty much mindless zombies, so kill as many of 'em as you damn-well please."
 * "Only you can prevent human flesh virus."
 * "What's the deal, 101? You killin' for kicks or is this a paying gig?"
 * "Today's weather, excessively violent, with a chance of dismemberment. Stay tuned for our Five-Day Forecast!"

Will occasionally mention character's class or ranking, such as "Vault Boogeyman" or "Paladin" and then describe quests the player has done.

Trivia
Though both his headwrap and sunglasses are items on his person, the ones being "worn" are part of his model. As such killing him and looting them will not cause them to be removed from his corpse.
 * Note: This has been confirmed to be NOT true for the PC version (see screenshot). [[Image:dead3dogbeforeandafter.png|thumb|Before and After looting]]
