Dogmeat is the iconic recurring canine companion in the Fallout video game series, first appearing in the original 1997 title and becoming a fan favorite in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. Representing unconditional loyalty in a post-apocalyptic world, Dogmeat memes often center on his ability to find rare items, his tendency to accidentally block the player in narrow hallways, or his status as the 'Goodest Boy' of the nuclear wasteland. Whether he is fetching a Cryolator or simply barking at a Radroach, the character has become a symbol of hope and humor for gamers navigating the ruins of society.
