dogs

TheAnnaTheRed was inspired by the Nintendo Switch to create this adorable plush dog.

Shoutout to Patrick Lenton for putting together this unexpected, drama-soaked saga. The tale vividly portrays the trying loops any player will jump through to adopt a virtual dog in Skyrim. It's gold, and painfully accurate.

Or, there's always the tl;dr version:

This mod affords you the stellar capability to play as Fallout's iconic canine, 'Dogmeat' or any of the other dogs you might come across while navigating The Commonwealth. As a newly outfitted dog, you have two basic, generally ineffective bites as well as two impressive power attacks -- jumping, and the more acrobratically commendable, run-to-jump bite.

And perhaps the best part about this mod, is the fact that you still keep a hold on your Pip-Boy and can even recruit Dogmeat a trusty companion.

The real life inspiration behind Dogmeat is a German Shepherd named River and she seems really excited about her trophy. Gamerant.com has all the details on River/Dogmeat's big win. The CW's World Dog Awards honor man's best friend in a variety of categories, not just video games. Congrats River!
