Dog

**Dog** is a character and a pop-up in *Progressbar95* that can give the player extra points. He is based on *Rover*, a cartoon dog character that first appeared in Microsoft Bob, then returned in Windows XP as the default Search Companion.

In BarOS, Dog is called **Cathorse**, a combination of a cat and horse based on the *dogcow* (nicknamed *Clarus* by fans), used in the page setup example in classic Mac OS and macOS Ventura. In BarOS 10.II to 12, he is also called **Catzebra**, **Catdonkey**, **Catpony** or **Seacathorse** depending on the system.

In B OS, Dog is called **Teapot**, a 3D render of a red teapot that is based on the Utah teapot, which was used as a graphics demo for BeOS, and was the first Man-made object to be 3D modeled.

## Behaviour

Dog can spawn as a pop-up in Progressbar, Confetti, BarOS, Tag, Custom game mode and Progresstein3d. He also has a cameo appearance in Progressball.

Dog can sometimes appear sliding at the bottom or top of the screen (dependent on system line) saying "[number] points". When clicking on "Get it!", he will say "Congratulations!" and then disappears. After completing a game, the player will be rewarded with an extra amount of points specified by him. The number of points can range from 100 to 1000 points.

Catching a Dog for the first time unlocks an achievement.

### Other appearances

A Dog in Progresstein3d can either be stationary or moving. The main character of Progresstein3d is also a Dog. bumping into a Dog will give him heart-shaped eyes and will reward the player with an extra amount of points. But if he gets shot, he will become sad and an instant BSOD will appear.

#### Progressball

In Progressball, Dog is a special bumper that is located near the top of the pinball table. When he is hit by the ball, the player will receive an extra amount of points.

#### Mailbox

Dog can also send a message on Mailbox asking you to get more points. If the player replies with 'Would you be so kind to give me a bonus?", they will be rewarded with 500 points.

#### Browser

Dog appears in the 'Dogs' website.

Sometimes, a button saying "Give him a cookie" appears. Clicking on it will reward the player with an extra amount of points.

#### Post-game

In post-game, Dog will appear telling the player to rate the game. Doing so will make him have heart-shaped eyes. This only happens when opening the game for the first time in a day.

## Trivia

* Although *Rover* in real life did not receive any updates to its appearance after Windows XP nor exist before Microsoft Bob, Dog in *Progressbar95* still gets new looks in modern systems like Progressbar 10, and gets a pixelated look in retro systems such as Progressbar 1.
	+ Although *Dogcow* in real life did not appear in Mac OS X until macOS Ventura (which was released in 2022), Cathorse in BarOS still appears in BarOS 10-12 and H@ckgresh.
* The Cathorse in BarOS 10.II-12's name is relevant to the code name of the system, for example: Catzebra for 10.II, Catdonkey for 10.III, Catpony for 11, Seacathorse for 12.
* Dog is missing in PB-DOS Shell since version 0.9830, as well as in Progressbar Chitown, because it didn't exist in 0.21.
* Before version 0.5607, the "Catch a dog" achievement could be only unlocked by bumping into a Dog in Progresstein3d.
* In BarOS systems, if a Cathorse is going right, its face is also facing the right. In B OS BC version, Teapot will accidentally face the left side of the screen if it is going to the right side.
* On Christmas, all Dogs will have Christmas hats. On April Fools, Dog will appear on top of Clippies and Clippies will appear replacing Dogs, while on Halloween, all Dogs have pumpkin hats.
* Despite the fact that Bar System 4 only supports 2 colors, the Cathorse is made of a few shades of gray plus black and white.
