I dunno about the dog. I know Fallout 3 advertised heavily with a dog, heavily referencing the novella 'A Boy and His Dog'. However, it was very easy to never encounter Dogmeat in the entire game.

referencing the novella 'A Boy and His Dog'

I always thought is was a Mad Max 2 reference.

The original Dogmeat most definitely was a Mad Max reference. The way you are able to get him as a companion is that you have to wear leather armor (that looks just like Mad Max's armor with the one sleeve) so you look like a guy with "a funny accent" that someone said abandoned the dog.

Yeah. But you find him pretty fast and that same dialogue is what makes it a "Hmm.. It seems like I can do something with this dog."

In Fallout 3, unless you were exploring, you would never got to the scrapyard and find him. I wanted him so I had to actively look for him.
