Three Dog

Three Dog is the radio host, DJ, and news anchor of the Galaxy News Radio station in the Capital Wasteland $$

Background
He established GNR with his technician and assistant Margaret. Since he began, he has been broadcasting to the wasteland with public service announcements, music, and news. At times he makes jests at Enclave Radio, going as far as mocking President John Henry Eden's voice. He mentions experimenting with Jet in the past and stumbling across Oasis during his travels in the Capital Wasteland.

Three Dog believes in what he calls "fighting the Good Fight," which boils down to any action that opposes and antagonizes the wasteland's various oppressors and thugs, be it raider gangs, bands of Super Mutants, slaving parties, Talon Company death squads or the Enclave's soldiers. To this end, he actively cooperates with the Brotherhood of Steel, letting them use his fortified radio station as an outpost.

By 2287, Three Dog had disappeared from the Capital Wasteland and was considered missing. Phil Goodman, also known as the Ghoul of Cool, took up his role as DJ for a time. Three Dog's legacy continued on in the form of the Good Fighters, who helped defend D.C. and promoted the message of the "Good Fight." An unknown group later hired the Talon Company to assault the GNR building and take it from the Good Fighters. During the quest The Good Fight, the Sole Survivor is tasked with arriving on the scene and reclaiming the building.

Appearances
Three Dog appears in Fallout 3, Fallout Shelter, and Fallout Shelter Online. He is mentioned in Fallout 4, and the Creation Club content "Capital Wasteland Mercenaries."

Behind the scenes

 * During development, quest designer and writer Fred Zeleny suggested a side quest that involved bringing an archive of old tapes to Three Dog to increase GNR's music rotation. According to Zeleny, the songs added would pull from "audio files you had set in a special directory on your PC or console." Though the execution was "well within reach," Zeleny stated that Todd Howard nixed the idea due to concerns over music rights and not fitting the game's "intended tone."
 * The name of the character Three Dog is shared by a character played by his voice actor, Erik Todd Dellums, "Dog 3" in the film She's Gotta Have It.
 * Erik Dellums helped develop the character, including his signature howls.
 * Dellums has also expressed interest in reprising his role in a potential future installment.

Bugs

 * Occasionally, Three Dog will mention events that occur after the ending of the game. He will only do so if the player had downloaded the Broken Steel downloadable content and has not played through the part in the game before it.
 * Sometimes after starting a new game, Three Dog can be heard stating things that haven't come to pass yet. This has been known to last until you catch up with the event that he's referring to.
 * Sometimes Three Dog will start saying a comment and then quickly switch comments about the player over and over again. This can prevent you from listening to music for the rest of the game.
 * Occasionally Three Dog will repeat the "News" section of the broadcast 2-3 times over until he later continues playing songs again.
 * Sometimes even after killing Three Dog, you can still hear him broadcast the news but it will switch between Margaret and him. This can be corrected by loading a save before Three Dog is killed.
