It's been a great year for dogs in games. So GAF which dog is top dog?
D-Dog-Metal Gear Solid V
Loyal companion to Venom Snake. This
Dogmeat-Fallout 4
Your loyal companion in Fallout 4. Step out of the vault and you immediately have a new best friend. Instantly loyal and completely invincible Dogmeat will accompany you in the Wastelands. He can grab pesky raiders, so you can line up your VATS shots easier. He doesn't even count as a companion so you can use the Lone Wanderer perk while he his accompanying you. Truly a great companion.
Annoying Dog-Undertale
Undertale is full of dogs, but the Annoying Dog is probably the most iconic. The lovable little guy pops up throughout the game causing havoc where ever it goes. Whether it's being part of a trap, stealing bone based special attacks, or programming a game, the Annoying Dog does it all. He even has theme song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s06dqOGKQNg
Yarn Poochy-Yoshi Wooly World
The most hugable dog on the list. It's poochy in yarn form. What else do you need? Look at it's stupid face. Don't you just want to hug it?
Watchdog of the Old Lords- Bloodborne
It's a dog, it's on fire, and it's going to kill you. This is some high quality dog we got here. Found in the chalice dungeons(I think) it will give you a good time.
Are there any other dogs that should be noted for their importance this year?
Honorable mention
- GuerillaDawg- Not in a game, but in our hearts.
