 * 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."
 * "Hey nifty America, it's me, your president, John Hen- [degenerates into laughter] Gotcha! Three Dawg here! How's everyone doin'?!"
 * "People of the Capital Wasteland, it is I, Three Dog, your ruler! 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!"
 * "What rhymes with shoes, and often gives you the blues? That's right, it's time for the cashews... Okay, that doesn't really rhyme... How about news?"
 * "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 gonna kill is YOU. So be smart. Salvage those parts and make repairs whenever you can."
 * "And now, a super-important 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. Word is, these guys take all the contracts the other mercs won't! In short, there's nothing they won't do."
 * "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."
 * "Watch those Geiger Counters, kids! Tick-tick-tickity means "run your ass out of there!" And then pop some RadAway for good measure. If you do need to head into the heat, be smart. Give yourself a nice boost of RadX first!"
 * ''"With the right precautions, you CAN prevent accidental death or even... ugh... ghoulification."
 * "Sure, they may look like hideous zombies from an old monster flick, but their hearts, their souls, ther tears are all very much human. So if you see one of the Capitol Wasteland's many ghouls, leave your prejudice at the door and your pistol in its holster. Ah, yes, one important caveat, kiddies... those feral ghouls who prefer the dark, damp underground? They basically are mindless zombies, so kill as many of 'em as you damn well please."
 * "Only you can prevent human flesh fires."
 * "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!"
 * ''"What the hell is going on down there? Revolution? Vacation? Somebody fart? Your guess is as good as mine."
 * ''"Hey, next time your in the neighborhood, stop by the studio! Old Three Dog's toaster's been on the fritz."
 * "Here's a question to all you faithful listeners: have you guys and gals ever seen... a tree? No, no, no, not those shrubble black things! I'm talking real trees: brown bark, green leaves, photosynthesis, all that good stuff! Now what if I, the all-powerful Three Dog, bow wow wow, would tell you that somewhere right here in the Capital Wasteland is a place with LOTS of trees... A veritable oasis of green in a depressing sea of brown... Look, it was years ago.. and I MAY have been experimenting with Jet at the time... but I'm telling you: IT'S OUT THERE."

Will mention character's karmic rank such as "Seeker" or "Paladin" and then describe the outcome of a random quest the player has done.

Quotes

 *  "HOHOOO, BOY!!! Children, you are going to loooove this! OK, so I told you about James, the guy from the Vault. And then I told you about somebody else crawled out of it too. Right... Wwwwell, guess who came to visit ol' Three Dog and his luxurious studio in beautiful downtown DC! That's right, the other Vault Dweller! Now... you wanna know if it gets better, don't you? Well HELL YES, it gets better! Turns out Vault Dweller #2 was none other that James' KID! I know, I know, I couldn't make this shit up! OK, but... now it gets kinda sad. You see, the kid is looking for his/her father. Looking for James. See, James left the Vault without telling the kid why. So James, if you're listenin': your kid's out, man! So you might wanna find him/her before he/she gets swallowed up and spit out."
 * When these psychos come to play, they have one thing in their minds: making your life as fucking miserable as humanly possible. Raiders can't be bargained or reasoned with! So run, hide, or... fight if you got the balls and the guns, BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T GO WAVIN' THE WHITE FLAG!!! They'll just strangle you with it.
 * Until next time, this is Three Dog! AOOOO! And you're listening to Galaxy News Radio! We radio free, Wasteland, and we're here... for you! Bringing you the truth... no matter how bad it hurts. And now, some music.
 * According to reports from the ever-so-hoity-toity Tenpenny Tower, a group of displaced ghouls have been trying to gain entrance. Ah, but lash-at-large Alistair Tenpenny says: "No zombies, no how!" Come on Al, cut the ghoulies a break! If they got the caps and you got the space, it's a win-win, right? What do you say?
 * What rhymes with shoes and gives you the blues? That's right, cashews...
 * The Lone Wanderer -a.k.a. the kid from Vault 101- has recently undertaken a dangerous quest to recover -drumroll, please- a VIOLIN! Now this is where the story gets a little fuzzy, true Captital Wasteland-style. Agatha, we love you. Keep playing, sister! And 101... you helped make the Capital Wasteland a better place - hat's off, my friend!"
 * The Enclave has showed up over at that big machine-thingy at the Jefferson Memorial. You hear it from me first, my friends: the Enclave is on the move! I'm getting reports of flying ships and shock troops in high-tech power armor. When the men showed up, a bunch of scientists went running. With them was Rivet City's own Madison Li... and that crazy kid from Vault 101. They are safe and sound at the Citadel... PRAISE JESUS, PRAISE JESUS!!! No sign of the kid's father though... I hope that James is OK. Methinks... we are screwed.
 * Children, I don't care if you've ignored EVERY OTHER WORD that has come out of my mouth IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, please, hear me now and believe: the Enclave -and that includes their homecoming king, "President John Henry Eden" and his gorilla, Colonel Augustus Autumn- are NOT here to help you! Wake up, children - the Enclave has a giant truck full of brahmin and they've been spoonfeeding you the bullshit! And the sooner you all realize that and stand up to their oppression, the better! And THAT, my friends, is fighting the Good Fight!
 * Look! Up on that bridge! It's Jesus! It's Buddha! No, it's the Wasteland Savior!
 * And now an update on our very own armed Defender. Did he left the Vault just to help us? Who knows, we owe him by the way, check this out.
 * And now an update from Vault 101's Peacekeeper. This gal is a prime example that not everyone in the Capital Wasteland is a complete asshole.
 * Hey kiddies, boyz and girlz, prepare to be astounded, bedazzled and otherwise, stuporfied! I'm Three Dog, your master of ceremonies!
 * Unemployment's down, payments are up and the UN just declared global peace forever! Now, the real news...huh...
 * Yikes, looks like the Lone Wanderer has wondered himself/herself right into the Enclave's sinister clutches!

Trivia

 * Three Dog is based on 1960's radio personality "Wolfman Jack", (formely Moondog) who used to howl between song selections and often placed on-air prank phone calls to strangers. He is featured prominetly in the 1973 George Lucas film American Graffiti.


 * According to IMDB, the voice actor for Three Dog, Erik Dellums, was in a 1986 work by Spike Lee entitled She's Gotta Have It. His character?  Dog 3.


 * His name could be a reference to American rock band, Three Dog Night, and one of his lines derived from their popular song One is The Loneliest Number.


 * Three Dog could have also been named after the 'Three Dog Bakery' in Bethesda, Maryland near where Bethesda Softworks is based.


 * Though both his head wrap and sunglasses are items on his person, the ones being "worn" are part of his model. Killing him and looting them will not cause them to be removed from his corpse; though the headwrap and sunglasses are taken away after you loot him for the PC/360 version of Fallout 3. (see screenshot) [[Image:dead3dogbeforeandafter.png|thumb|Before and After looting]]


 * If you save while looking at Three Dog, then kill him by shooting his head and making it explode and looting his body of all his items; occasionally when you load your save, he will not have his glasses on.


 * If you shoot Three Dog's left arm off, the one with the wristband, his detached arm will be separated where the wristband should be. His body will also have an invisible arm in which only the wristband is visible.
