Fun fact: At the time of this upload, a day ago during Awesome Games Done Quick 2024, there was a speedrun of the NES game Gyromite that was performed entirely by a dog named Peanut Butter who was taught to press one of two buttons when his owner held a treat over one. More proof that video games and dogs are the perfect combo.

i love this content format of talking about random shit that's common in games. it's such a weird idea but it's so entertaining and has so much potential for videos. you've talked about minorities in games, durability in games, trains in games, shields in games, and now dogs. I hope you enjoy making these videos because i'm keen to see more of them

I'm also allergic to dogs, but I still pet them and stuff. Whenever I go to a freind's house who all have huge fucking dogs, it's basically becomes a slow DOT until my eyes and nose get super irritated. Also, the thing that causes allergies the most isn't dander. It's fluids. Saliva being the big one. So you can get trigger alleries from a "Hypoallergenic" dog.

As far as i remember Wargroove Lore, Caesar doesn`t really have a strategy. He is the protagonists loyal companion and best friend and his campaign missions are a bit of a running gag that goes like this: Caesar instinctively wanders off and finds a group of thugs. Thugs feel threatened by him and start a battle. Caesars bodyguards interpret his barks as the situation calls for. Thugs get defeated and run off, day is saved. Protagonist arrives and asks him what he is been up to, the good deed goes unnoticed. Also his arcade mode ends with him destroying the artifact of doom in Wargroove, because dogs are incorruptible.

my favourite video game dog of all time has to be Ramlethal’s dog from Guilty Gear Strive and Xrd because it taught her that every creature is unique and has inherent value, which convinces her not to be an antagonist anymore. unfortunately it only shows up in the story mode and when she wins a round in Strive but it’s still insane and very funny to me that some normal ass dog completely changed her perspective on life. i should note though, the dog doesn’t speak/literally teach her this, it gets killed and recreated by someone but Ram can still recognise that it’s different from her actual (now dead) dog and mourns it, finally experiencing emotions for the first time (or second? she ate a burger and that also changed her life). god i love guilty gear.

extra dogs I also love in Legend of Heroes: Zeit the police dog, most noble dog with an attitude that pulls the main party out of trouble many times over. Cerberus the cute pupper that also helps Jingo manage the Neinvalli Exchange market, even sometimes lets you interact with him instead to shop (and is also being taught how to fly an aircraft, legitimacy of that remains in doubt). The Albion Wolf art, because sometimes you just need to summon a magical wolf to nuke your enemies to oblivion.

Honestly I know it's not revealed that Torgal is not a normal dog until well into FFXVI but we should have all known that he was special the moment he got Benedikta by the neck, span around it like she was a lamp post and then just plain YEETED her, like bro pulled the canine 360° and that was the instant he became the best doggo in recent gaming to me. Not quite Amaterasu tiers of peak doggery, but close. Also, it's kinda a shame you didn't mention Barkley in Cassette Beasts. Like, you've got several interesting and unique party members all with character arcs and signature monster tapes, and then also a Pomeranian that turns into a bigger Pomeranian with ice powers, he has zero actual dialogue other than typical dog noises and I LOVE HIM.

With all the harrowing, traumatic, sometimes intensely violent things that your character goes through in Baldur's Gate 3, it's really nice sometimes to just go back to camp and give Scratch some scritches. He's basically a therapy dog. If you cast Speak with Animals or drink a potion for it, you can talk to Scratch, and he'll call you his friend! You can throw a ball for Scratch to fetch! You can throw a ball at Astarion for Scratch to fetch and for you to giggle mischievously over! Sometimes Scratch will find random junk and give it to you, like valuable gems, potions, or sometimes a rotten cheese wedge he dug up. You can kill Scratch! Don't do that, that's terrible! You can make him mad when you talk to him the first time, and then he'll try to kill you! Reload that save, that's terrible! You can summon him to join you on your adventures, but I don't do that, because I'm afraid he'll get hurt and I won't be able to revivify him and that would be *terrible!* I've played one of the most cruel, morally depraved, unfeeling Tavs out there (Minthara made me do it), and even she adopted Scratch! The Sword Coast can burn for all I care if it means best boy can get a new squeaky toy.

I love Scratch in Baldurs Gate as he's both ticks the dog as companion (if you summon him) and dog with job (he finds stuff in the world for you even if you leave him at camp). You can also not only pet him, but also play fetch and talk with him like a person using a beast speech spell or potion.

The Meow Wow from Kingdom Hearts 3D is sort of a mix of a cat and a dog but for thr most part it is very dog-like in how it acts, even jumping up and licking you when you pet it enough. And its all squeaky when it rolls around. There is also Dran, a giant flying dog god in Dark Cloud. First major boss fight in the game but after that he's friendly (As for robot dogs, I agree, science has gone too far! ...except for the Aibo that sony makes, they can stay)

Dogs. Dogs are entertaining creatures. My favorite video game "dog" is the Chain Chomp. My fascination with him started in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, where he is the special item for Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. 15 years later, Chain Chomp would make his first playable appearance in Mario Tennis Aces; he is one of my mains. Other doggos that I like are Tails, Poochy, Lucario, Isabelle, the Duck Hunt dog, Wolf O'Donnell, Fox McCloud, Krystal, Arcanine, Ninetales, Vulpix, and KK Slider. Fun stuff, Astronaut.

I played it way too much as a kid so it's a firm favourite "bad" game.
