===Points requirements===

==Notes==
* The dog itself has a powerful attack and often diverts enemy attention. It will follow the player character all the time.
* Dogmeat does not acknowledge the presence of explosives, and may kill itself in a fate similar to the original Dogmeat in the Mariposa Military Base in Fallout. However, it will respawn upon reaching the next save point.
==Behind the scenes==
* The Vault Girl version of the Man's Best Friend skill can be seen in a TV for educating cyberdogs in the X-8 research center at the Big MT in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
* Dogmeat is a reference to Mad Max 2 (aka The Road Warrior) and A Boy and His Dog. Both movies featured a lone wanderer and his dog-companion in a post-apocalyptic world, and in the latter movie, the main character uses "Dogmeat" as a disparaging nickname for his companion.
