Dog is a man’s best friend and become hero in literature as Novel,
Tails, movies, games. The Dogs are more attractive due to fluffy fur, wagging
tail, good sense of smell, and a distinct bark. In the video game world
however, dogs have the ability to do a lot more than just roll over and play
dead. While they aren’t exactly the same as our real-life companions, we love
them all the same. Mentioned below the the top 10 dogs video games, including a
mix of helpful canines, powerful wolves, and even dog-like gods.
10. Wolf
Game: Resident Evil 4
Description:
Leon Kennedy has been through it all since the Raccoon City incident. Zombies,
genetically modified monsters, parasites, and crazy bioterrorists are all part
of a day’s work for the American cop turned secret service member. With all
that he’s been through, a little help goes a long way. After being released
from a bear trap by Kennedy, this lone wolf returned the favor by helping him
best El Gigante, a colossal mutated giant. Though he doesn’t have a name or an
owner, this mutt was definitely more helpful than the President’s daughter
Ashley in just about every sense of the word.
09. Godly Wolf
Game: Black and White 2
Description:
The typical dog ranges from pocket-size to a stature larger than an average man
but none quite compare to the wolf in Black and White 2. Players assume the
role of a god who can gain new followers peacefully by completing miracles or
forcefully by leading armies in conquest. If every man’s best friend is a
dog, than every god’s best friend is a giant, super powered wolf. This beast is
massive in size, and has a multitude of powers including: shooting fireballs
and lightning, healing the sick, helping to construct buildings, and even
watering a village’s crops. He is truly a jack of all trades and definitely one
of the most hard working entrants on this list.
08. Lobo the Wolf
Game: Red Dead Redemption
Description:
Besides rounding up bandidos, capturing forts, and crossing the desolate
landscape of the South West, one of the most entertaining activities in Red
Dead Redemption would have to be hunting animals. As one of the four legendary
animals, Lobo the Wolf, is the epitome of a fearsome predator. Sporting a solid
black coat and glowing yellow eyes, besting Lobo is not for the faint of heart.
Those that do challenge the king of the wolf kingdom are rewarded handsomely
with sellable provisions and are one step closer to the Master Hunter
Challenge. Not too shabby.
7. Shadow
Game: Dead to Rights series
Description:
There is something special about a dog that can not only assist you in combat,
but one that can completely dominate, destroy, and wipe out the opposition.
Shadow meets and exceeds expectations. In Dead to Rights: Retribution there is
a very special achievement called Scrotality that showcases the extent of what
Shadow can do. If the name isn’t enough of a hint, this achievement can be
attained by performing a groin takedown with the powerful jaws of a trained
attack dog. Ouch is an understatement, and a free pass for Shadow into the
coolest dogs list.
06. Dogmeat
Game: Fallout series
Description:
Dogmeat is one of the several possible companions able to join the Lone
Wanderer in his/her journey across the Capital wasteland and definitely the
cutest. While he doesn’t carry a giant minigun like Fawkes or wear power armor
like Paladin Cross, this scrapyard pooch has all he needs to take down
mutated animals, bandits, and more. Not to mention he has a pretty awesome
name.
05. Angelo
Game: Final Fantasy VIII
Description: Sant’ Angelo di Roma or Angelo for short, is Rinoa’s longtime
companion and battle buddy in Final Fantasy VIII. In a series that has an
obsession with giant swords, gunblades, and ridiculously oversized weapons,
it’s amazing that this Australian Shepherd lookalike can hold her own.
Functioning as Rinoa’s limit break, Angelo can perform multiple “tricks” in
battle. My dog knows how to sit and shake, Angelo knows how to rip a guys face
off. Nice.
4. PaRappa the Rapper
Game: PaRappa the Rapper
Description:
PaRappa isn’t your average dog. If being able to talk isn’t amazing enough, he
possesses a lyrical flow unmatched by any other animal, even Donkey Kong’s DK
Crew. Rocking a beanie, high top sneakers and of course a mic, Parappa proves
that rapping is not exclusively a human art from.
3. Hero’s Dog
Game: Fable series
Description:
Every hero needs a sidekick. Why would you have a little boy wearing a green
speedo and yellow cape (cough cough Robin) when you could have a fearless fido
instead? This loyal hound even takes a bullet for the hero, saving his/her life
near the end of the campaign. Players have three options after completing the
game: massive amounts of wealth, reviving deceased villagers, or the choice to
resurrect your fallen dog. For those that chose money, shame on you.
2. Red XIII
Game: Final Fantasy VII
Description:
What is Red XIII? Some might visualize an orange tattooed wolf, while others
picture a red-mane lion. Whatever species you choose to describe the creature,
one thing is for certain, Red XIII (or Nanaki which is his real name) is in a
league of his own. Possessing incredible longevity, the 48 year old cat dog
hybrid is only 15 or 16 years old by his species tandards. Unfortunately for
his tribe, Red is one of the last members of his kind. Despite the grim future
of his species, he fights alongside Cloud and his allies to fulfill his duty to
the Planet to defend it as a warrior.
1. Amaterasu
Game: Okami
Description:
The beautiful white wolf with crimson markings, Amaterasu or Ammy for short,
may look cute and cuddly, but she harbors a hidden power that most are unable
to recognize. Amaterasu is the sun goddess to all of the land of Nippon.
Through reincarnation, she inherited the plight of the people suffering at the
hands of the evil Orochi. With the use of the celestial brush aka her tail,
Ammy is able to battle hordes of demons using powers such as slicing bad guys
in two, producing deadly fireballs, cherry bombs, tornados, and many other
unique powers. She isn’t just a fighter, Ammy is a lover as well with some
brush techniques reflecting the gentler side of a god’s repertoire: the ability
to make the sun rise, fix broken objects, and even bring withering plants into
bloom. Amaterasu is really the perfect dog; intelligent, loyal, strong,
playful, hard working, and adorable, and for those reasons, she graces the
number one spot as the best video game dog in existence.
