Dog



Dogs are a species of domestic animal found throughout towns and outposts of the American west. They are owned by the law enforcement, and are used to fend off ruffians and outlaws at night. They vary in breeds and colours, however the most common breeds found are:

Labrador Retrievers (Armadillo, MacFarlane's Ranch)

Whippets (Most of Mexico, Blackwater)

Wolfhounds (Usually accompanying the "Aggressive Campers" in Tall Trees.)

English Shepherds (Small settlements around America and Mexico.)

Notes:
 * Killing a Dog brings a $5 bounty on the player and lowers your honor.
 * Dogs are also fast, so be quick to kill them.
 * Roping a ranch dog may result in the animal attacking you.
 * After gaining a certain amount of attention by the law, officers will start to bring attack dogs.
 * Killing a dog is not required for the Unnatural Selection trophy/achievement.
 * Pressing the Fire Button (with no weapon drawn) when next to a Dog will kick it. If you kick a Dog enough times it will attack you and bite your arm.
 * Whistling for your horse when near a Dog will make the dog follow you for a while.

Notable Dogs

 * Charlie - MacFarlane Ranch's guard dog. He partakes in the Nightwatch activity, and helps Marston track down rustlers and bandits who commit a crime.
 * Rufus - Marston's family dog. He's used in missions to hunt and track.
 * Perro - The Nightwatch dog for Chuparosa. Perro will attack perpetrator's making it sometimes difficult to subdue and hogtie criminals. Perro is probably not the real name of this dog, mainly because Perro is Spanish for dog and Perro is often referred to as "The Perro". Possibly hinting that the residents of Chuparosa just call him 'the dog'.

Other Dogs

 * There is a dog present at Rathskeller Fork.
 * Blackwater also has a dog that partakes in the Nightwatch missions there.
 * Armadillo has a Chocolate Labrador Retriever.
