In the Fallout world, dogs are little different from the ones found in our world, though many have become feral and vicious in order to survive in the harsh environment of the Wasteland. Even so, just as they have in ages past, many dogs have remained faithful and beloved companions to men and women. Inarguably, the most famous of these post-nuclear canines was Dogmeat, the companion of the Vault Dweller.
