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.

The Attack Dog perk is unlocked when your Charisma is at Level 4. You can start at this level by assigning 4 points to Charisma during the Registration Form at the start of the game. Otherwise, you can get to this level by collecting SPECIAL magazines or bobbleheads and spending perk points upon level up.
