Charlie

"Follow Charlie, he's a good one to sniff out trouble."

- MacFarlane Ranch lawman

 is a minor character featured in  Red Dead Redemption.

He is a Border Collie and has black fur with some white patches. Due to his breed, the people of MacFarlane's Ranch most likely use him to herd the cattle and sheep when not guarding the ranch at night.

Interactions

 * Charlie is the dog seen accompanying Marston in the MacFarlane Ranch Nightwatch missions.
 * During the Nightwatch activity, Charlie will also attack the perpetrator, however most of the time he will rely on the player to injure the the perpetrator to the point where he cannot stand. Though this may seem helpful, this does however make it difficult at some times to subdue and hogtie the perpetrator, seeing as most of the time he will be mauled by Charlie while on the ground.

Trivia

 * If the player whistles while near Charlie, Charlie will follow the player if they leave the ranch, and point out animals in the wild.
 * Charlie has a huge amount of health, making it hard for any outlaw to kill him.
