Top 10 Video Game Dogs to Accompany You Through the Apocalypse

(Continuation)

3. Rush - Mega Man

What can I say about rush? He can turn into jet… a submersible, a motorcycle, a drill… I mean… this dog can do it all… assuming you want a mode of transportation that is. I mean, I don't know how vicious his teeth are… or his claws… Wait, he doesn't have any. I mean, maybe Rush shouldn't be number three on this list. Man, when I was thinking about this list, Rush seemed way cooler… I mean, I guess a jetboard is pretty cool… Wait, how is this dog fueled? Sunlight? Gasoline? He'd be no good once the Earth's resources are used up or during a nuclear winter! Are there any Mega Man geeks out there that can let me know? I need to know this sort of information, its vital to my life.

2. Amaterasu - Okami

More of a wolf, sun-goddess thing, and yeah, you'd think she'd be number one, but I don't know, that just seemed too obvious. Maybe she's a little too powerful. Maybe she's wrapped too much up in her own little quests and paintbrushes to care about the menial lives of humans. I mean, how faithful is Amaterasu, really? How much can a goddess really understand the human condition? All powerful maybe, but will she be there for you when the time really counts? Where will she be when an army of killing robots who have inherited the earth come to hunt you down? Exactly!

Which leads us to our number one top dog…

1. Dogmeat - Fallout 3

An obvious pick. Dogmeat was born and raised in the wasteland, conditioned for it to the extreme. He is faithful… with you to the end… always by your side. He likes to kill things, and unlike that snooty Interceptor, he doesn't need expensive food. Let it be quoted by Lone Wanderer 2277 "You know, I think you're the first dog I've met that didn't try to eat me." According to fallout.wikia.com, "If you tell Dogmeat to wait in Megaton and then blow the town up, Dogmeat will be alive outside of the Megaton ruins." HE IS THAT INDUSTRUCTIBLE. He will also fetch stuff for you. This is the dog of dreams, because when the world has turned its back on you; when everyone is out to stab you, eat you, or shoot you, Dogmeat will always be there for you, man.
