Dog can't get hurt, hmm? I'm thinking of adding a comment similar to the one in G-Man (Half-Life) (since like Dog, he's invincible), which mentions that "It is unknown if this 'immortality' is part of the character, or was simply a way to prevent players from killing the character accidentally." --Yar Kramer 16:49, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Well I heard that the Gman could be killed.
I've tried using various means (in Half-Life 1, at least), i.e. using cheats to give myself wepaons in the Endgame and blasting him at point blank range, and no he can't. Where did you hear this?

In Garry's Mod, it IS possible to kill Dog, thought, just as in HL2, when hit he doesn't seem to react at all to the bullets (you just hear the sound of metal being hit). So, he's not "invincible".

The name actually appears as "DØg"

The name actually appears as "DØg" at the ending of the Episode One teaser trailer four. I was wondering if we should actually replace "Dog" with "DØg"?

This has been something that I have mused over lately. Even before the Episode One teaser was released, Valve was selling a t-shirt with the scanner/D0g/Dog/whatever faceplate on it with the caption "Good D0g" (see here.) If no one raises any objections, I will move the article over in a few hours to D0g. Linuxbeak (AAAA!) 18:11, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Done. Article has been moved and all links that pointed to Dog (Half-Life 2) now point to D0g. Linuxbeak (AAAA!) 20:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, that's strange. His name is only ever referred to as "Dog" in the subtitles, and I wouldn't see any reason why they would have avoided the spelling of "D0g" there if that's what they wanted his name to be. Oh well, odd choice by Valve I guess. MarphyBlack 21:40, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

It or He?

As far as the story is concerned, Dog is a sentient character like any other. I don't agree with the use of 'it' as the pronoun in this article. --Tom Edwards 06:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Do robot's have genders?
Of course, though it needn't be anything phyiscal. Dog is frequently referred to as 'boy' by Alyx. --Tom Edwards 11:04, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Everyone calls dogs "boy", even when they're female. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.175.235.141 (talkcontribs) 21:10, June 22, 2006 (UTC).
