Can Deacon Befriend Animals in Days Gone?

The post-apocalyptic world of Days Gone may be dangerous, but not all creatures are hostile towards Deacon. This guide section will provide information on whether Deacon can befriend animals, including petting dogs.

Yes, Deacon can pet dogs in Days Gone, but only during a cutscene that becomes available after progressing through the story campaign. Players must complete main missions until the Have It Your Way mission. During this mission, Deacon searches for a puppy for Boozer.

Players must search through nearby houses with freakers inside to find the pup hiding in the privy. The dog will not come out even after players kill the freaker trying to get him. Players can encourage the dog to come out of hiding by offering it some dog food. Players must follow tracks on the minimap and climb the lower roof of the building to enter the room on the upper floor to find the Dog Treats in the bedroom and take it to the privy. Then, players will hold the interaction button in front of the locked door for a cutscene, during which the pup will come out of hiding and befriend Deacon.

Upon returning to Iron Mike’s camp, players will see another cutscene showing Boozer adopting the puppy. Unfortunately, not all scenes involving dogs are positive. During one of the earlier missions called SPOILER, Deacon is forced to put a dying dog to sleep. Deacon and Boozer get a chance to take revenge on the murderers of defenseless animals.

When players visit Iron Mike’s camp next time, they will find the pup in front of the dog house next to Bozzer trailer, but the game does not allow interaction with the dog. Later in the game, Deacon reaches the Crater Lake region, where players can find a toy for the dog in a hut in the mountains. The Yellow Dog Toy is lying on the floor, and players may give it to Boozer’s dog in the final part of the main plot or after its completion.

Players must go to Iron Mike’s camp and visit Boozer in his hut after returning to the northern regions of the world map. Then, players can give the toy to the dog by holding the interaction button.
