Is Attack Dog Worth It?

Enhances the Power of Your Dog

If you want to work with your dog Dogmeat always, it's good to have the Attack Dog perk. The perk gives Dogmeat the ability to hold an enemy, damage their limbs, and cause them to bleed at higher ranks.

If you're not using your dog, it's better to put your perk points on other perks, as you will not benefit from this perk without your dog.
