Trivia
Though both his headwrap 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)

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.

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

Also, he could have been created as a reference to Super Soul from the 1971 movie "Vanishing Point" in which the radio dj Super Soul works as a narrator on the main characters actions and gives him hints on how to proceed in his quest.

Three Dog also seems to reference heavily of real-life radio personality Wolfman Jack, in both mannerisms and in charisma.

Three Dog Sounds very much like the radio host at the beginning of 6 string samurai a mid 90s apocalyptic film based on a 1950's apocalypse
