I’m sure we can all agree that the best part of any video game is the dogs. If the game doesn’t feature any type of dog – even a zombie dog (looking at you, Resident Evil) – then it’s not going to be a Game of the Year contender for me.
Luckily, there’s now a Twitter account that won’t just show you the goodest boys in video games, but it’ll even tell you what we all want to know: can you pet the dogs?



Twitter account @Canyoupetthedog is still fairly new, but with such stellar content I’m not surprised it’s already amassed nearly 20 thousand followers at the time of writing.
Here’s just a taste of what you can expect from this magical Twitter account.
This Red Dead Redemption 2 dog is totally pettable.

Even this happy chappie fluffy boi from WarioWare: Touched. He is SO pettable.

But as for this guy, he’s a look-but-don’t-touch kinda fella.

(Seriously, how did GTA 5 sell so many copies when you can’t even pet the dogs?!)
As for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, don’t bother playing it because you CAN’T TELL THIS GOOD BOI HOW GOOD HE IS.

And don’t even get me started on Just Cause 4. I’ll be waiting for Just PAWS 4, thanks.
