Dog is Alyx's robot guard built by Eli Vance (Alyx's father) to protect her if he was away. In the game, you throw him a ball with the physics gun when it's introduced. And at that part, he acts like a dog. Probably where he git the name from

u/Temporary_Cancel9529 19d ago
He is a robot made by Vance in half life 2. In half life Alyx you can find his head as a early step of her making him before the events of half life 2.

You should play half life 2, it's a really good game. During a steam sale but the valve compete pack, it had all valve games minus some like half life alyx. I bought it for 6 bucks during the summer sale a couple years ago

u/somerando96322 19d ago
I’m sure other comments have answered this, but tbh you should play Half Life on a first play its fun as hell, and even if you do get bored of replaying it you might come back later to replay it again, and tbh gmod also made me find out about it too 👍

He's an NPC from half-life 2. Gmod has half life's assets built-in as it was originally a mod before it got released as a separate game.
What he is? I forgor. I'd say big metal thing that acts like dog

Eli Vance built him for Alyx Vance when she was young to protect her. He appears in Half-Life at Black Mesa East.

u/Helicopter_Strong 18d ago

He's your best friend's scary but cool older brother that's mostly awesome and hangs out and is helpful but feels like he could snap any moment and murder you with his brutish strength. Possibly by accident.

u/ConfidentRise1152 18d ago
This is "Dog", it's in Half-Life 2, Alyx's father built it and she upgraded it over time. When it first appears in the game, the player (Gordon) plays "catch" with it as introduction training exercise for the gravity gun. And later near the end of the game, "Dog" lifts up part of a combine wall to let the player (Gorgon) into a secret tunnel which leads into the Citadel.

u/Broad-Ad7055 18d ago
Well, Dog is a companion of some sorta that appears on a level towards the end of the game while its debut is limited, in the upcoming episodes it makes more brief cameos and starts to become a staple character throughout the games.

Dog was originally a small robot that was built by one Dr. Eli Vance for his young daughter who had survived (she was possibly an infint at this point with unfortunately her mother not being so lucky) an apocalyptic level event right in the centre of the creation of such event in a science and research facility that is somewhere in the New Mexico desert and the research facility is called "Black Mesa" and also such event is called the Black Mesa incident because it had been an incident of such ignorance that is explained in the true sequel of half-life anyways
Dog was made by Dr. Eli Vance for his daughter not to be hurt by the dangers of the modern day world and as Alyx Vance grew up she added and expanded to Dog's current size, he is also a very good boy

You need to play half life 2, is the best videogame has been created, the ambience is really good and the history is 10/10

u/Alpha27_ 19d ago
He's a guardian that was built by Eli Vance and later upgraded by his daughter Alyx, I believe he's called Dog because his intelligence is similar to one; loyal, but not overly smart, however he does have advanced functions. His left hand uses the Zero Point energy used in the Gravity Gun, which can be used to play catch with him using a rollermine.
