Sergeant Teddy

 is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It is a teddy bear in possession of Legionnaire Antony at Fortification Hill. It is a quest item, and cannot be removed. This side-quest starts when the player talks to a slave girl called Melody who will ask the player for the bear. Antony has taken the teddy from Melody and instead given it to his dogs. (Melody should be located in the Brahmin pen, but sometimes found outside the gate and may become unreachable in a normal game) To retreive the teddy Antony will ask you to fight 4 of his dogs in the Arena. With 'speech' you can persuade him to fight 2 dogs instead of four. Before entering the Arena, Antony will strip you of all your belongings and give you a machete. If you also have a high enough reputation with the Legion, you can convince him to just give you the Teddy. If you have the Animal Friend perk, you can also convince him to give you the teddy, as it's no fun for him if the dogs won't attack you on sight.

If the player is having difficulty defeating the dogs, before talking to Anthony, lead Rex into the arena and open up his inventory. From here the player can give Rex any medical supplies and armour desired, then tell Rex to wait there. Talk to Anthony and tell him you're ready. You will be transported into the arena, and Rex will be in there with you. Before you engage the dogs, talk to Rex and take back any medical supplies and armour you gave him as you can now use them. Yet to be checked if this works with other companions and if your holdout weapon can be given to companion.
