Who is your favourite – and have we missed any that should have made the list? Let us know in the comments below and on all the usual social media channels. Eight all round good boys who we really couldn’t do without across some of Xbox’s best games. It may be quite doubtful, but it would be nice to see somebody take on the mantle of Snoopy (and the rest of the Peanuts gang, for that matter) to make a fully-fledged game for what is arguably an underrated classic cartoon character.
Storywise, you explored the dog’s vivid imagination when playing a nice game of hide and seek with the rest of the Peanuts gang, collecting hundreds of jelly beans – because why not?! The game itself utilised Snoopy’s gift of spinning his floppy ears to glide around the level adding to how you jumped across platforms and stomped on the heads of enemies in a platforming format. He doesnt really have an owner, but is always ready to help out people in need. A Commonwealth mutt through-and-through, Dogmeat is an independent hound capable of tracking scents for miles, even days or weeks after the mark has passed through. The iconic beagle hit our Xbox’s back in 2008 with Snoopy Flying Ace, but the most recent 2015 Grand Adventure is what we remember of the lil’ guy, and whilst the game won’t go down as a stone cold classic it was nice to see the dog get a well-deserved outing. Dogmeat (simply called Dog before learning his name) is a canine companion found at the Red Rocket truck stop in Fallout 4. Whilst he may be known mainly for his role in Peanuts comic strips of decades gone by, the fact that he starred in his own video game on Xbox One makes him eligible for this list. We simply couldn’t have a list of best dogs without including the classic canine, Snoopy.
