Round 2: Cuteness
As you increase your bond with D-Dog, you’ll unlock all sorts of cool military-looking dog armor for your RND team to develop. D-Dog can carry a knife in its mouth, and you can also put a nice little protective mask on him. The dog armor in MGSV isn’t exactly cute, but eh, it’s pretty cool-looking.
It certainly helps that you can totally pet D-Dog on the head when you’re out in the field. It also definitely helps that D-Dog rushes up to you like an eager puppy each time you come back to Mother Base when it’s still a wee little pup.
You can dress Dogmeat up in all sorts of dog armor you find out in the field. You can let him wear cute little dog bandanas that come in red or army green. You can put a teddy bear in his inventory, and Dogmeat will behave like a totally adorable baby and start playing with the teddy.
Alright that’s enough. Dogmeat wins this round. Hands down.
