Fallout 4's going to have quite a few companions that can be convinced to join you on your adventures, and while we have no doubt that there'll be some colourful characters up for grabs, everyone loves a bit of Dogmeat. Okay, so that sentence didn't quite come out the way that we planned, but we're eager to see the returning canine tear some raiders to pieces when the game launches in a couple of months.

But who's the dog behind the vault dweller's trusty partner? Bethesda's answered that question with a short developer diary which focusses on River - lead level designer Joel Burgess' very own pet. In the embedded video, we get to see how the developer captured the looks, movement, and sound of River, all while the dog in question plays around without a care in the world. An easy life, we're sure.
