Their relationship is also much like that of a dog and its master they have a mutual trust and friendship, which has grown over the years so that Alyx now trusts Dog's opinions and hunches, as crazy as they may sometimes appear. She pats her upper thighs when calling him at Black Mesa East, and tells him to "fetch" when Gordon throws the Rollermine.
His head flaps also move according to his mood.Īlyx treats Dog much like a pet dog, calling him "boy" and using similar body language and voice as when talking to a real dog. One of his main forms of emotive outlet is his eye, which has an aperture used in much the same way as the human eye to show feelings by opening and closing. He is quadrupedal, walking on his knuckles like a gorilla. He has what appears to be a scrapped Combine City Scanner for a head, though with only three flaps while normally Scanners have four.
This makes him a crucial asset in any battle, as he can destroy Striders with ease and hurl heavy objects at targets.ĭog's body is constructed largely of scavenged scrap metal, hydraulics and wires. When either he or Alyx is threatened, he can be a dangerous foe, using his immense strength and weight to smash enemies to the ground or tear them apart. Dog makes friendly and playful noises such as beeps and whines, emulating the sounds made by a real dog, especially when he is around Alyx. Similarly to Barney Calhoun, Dog provides comic relief throughout the games with his quirks and many strange and odd decisions, even dancing when he is looked at for a period of time. Swinging in the hangar, he brings a crowbar, which Eli hands to Gordon while declaring they have work to do.ĭog, much like a real dog, is very friendly, loyal, and has an intelligent and excitable personality. He physically appears in the epilogue where the timeline has been altered, with Eli alive and well, the advisor dead and Alyx missing. When the combine forces descend upon the location, Gordon is advised to flee, and Dog pries open debris blocking the passage to Ravenholm, a zombie-infested ghost town.ĭog's construction stages and images can be found in Alys' observation room. Built from scrap by Eli Vance, Dog is a hulking robot intended to protect Alyx, who added fragments to him as time passes, contributing to his intimidating appearance by the events of Half-Life 2.ĭog is first encountered at Black Mesa East, a resistance facility, where Gordon can play fetch with him via a deactivated Combine Rollermine.
