Pets

An overview of pets found throughout the Fallout series.

Characteristics
Both before and after the Great War, individuals had pets as companions. The type of creature kept as pets varied, including dogs, cats, radroaches, and mole rats, among others. Robots such as Mister Handy models were programmed to take pets for walks.

Some pets have elongated lifespans due to cybernetic augmentation, such as Gabe, the pet of Doctor Borous. Borous reveals that Gabe was his only friend during his rough childhood and when bullied, Gabe would sit by his side and comfort him. The King owns a cyberdog named Rex that he bought from a prospector a few years ago. The King has become concerned for Rex as his brain is beginning to degrade, and seeks help for his pet.

Old Lady Gibson has several dogs as pets that walk around her scrap yard, and the Little Lamplighters have dogs that live with them in their home. Caesar's Legion has dogs taken from the Hangdogs, which are cared for by a houndmaster and former member of the tribe, Antony. Members of the Fiends have pets including Violetta, Queenie, BoneGnash and GhashBone.

Rory Rigwell attempted to domesticate mirelurks at the Irish Pride Industries shipyard. Gene is an individual who travels around the Commonwealth, selling dogs. He is reluctant to sell them, explaining that he gets attached to them and feels "blue for weeks after I sell one, but then I get myself a new puppy and start all over again." Chally the moo-moo helps Grahm on his trips around Appalachia, to sell his wares.
