There are few videogame dogs more famous than Fallout's Dogmeat. In fact, I can't think of any. Which is just as well, because Dogmeat recently claimed the title of Top Videogame Dog at the World Dog Awards.

And yes, the World Dog Awards are a real thing, presented by Iams and The CW network, honoring “some of the most laudable pups on the planet, from the ones who have achieved fame in [the] world of entertainment or on social media to everyday dogs who have had an indelible impact on the lives of their human companions.” Somewhat oddly, the winners were announced in mid-January, but Bethesda didn't say anything about the victory until today.

Congratulations, Dogmeat! And you too, River. You're a good girl. Yes you are.

Thanks, GamesRadar.
