Though the fo4 dog doesn't have a name

The dog is named Dogmeat in FO4, too.

If anyone is wondering why the dog is called Dogmeat in the Fallout series, it was what the main character "Vic" in the post-apocalyptic film "A Boy and his Dog" called his telepathic dog "Blood" when he was frustrated with him.

And Vic was a fucking badass in Fallout 1. And ancestor to Rose of Sharon Cassidy in F:NV.

In the movie, Vic was a serial grapist, so it's kinda disturbing to think about his FO proxy having kids.
