"Fallout 4's" beloved K-9 Dogmeat" dies in real life. The lovable German Shepherd named River voiced and modeled a recurring dog non-player character in the "Fallout" series known as Dogmeat.

The gorgeous pup has been able to bring the fan-favorite companion to life and not just as a direct reference for Dogmeat's appearance but also his shining personality and behavior.

According to the story by TheGamer, almost six months after River starred as Dogmeat, the German Shepherd passed away. The news was shared by River's owner and esteemed "Fallout 4" developer Joel Burgess, who had described the "Fallout 4" dog as a friend who "loved making people happy."

After sharing the news of the "Fallout 4" Dogmeat's real-life character's death, Burgess took the opportunity to recount River's life and even share some of the heartfelt behind-the-scenes detail on her work in the game "Fallout". The post revealed that River was not originally meant to play Dogmeat.

this seems not correct

his twitter post indicates he 'said goodbye' to her on june 27

bethesda posted a congratulations photo for her in 2016

river has her own entry on fallout wiki that says she died in june 2021
https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/River

possibly a typo for years

I always thought dogs were a boring companion in Fallout games. Like you have a whole world of weird mutated creatures out there and you give me a basic ass dog. NV was a bit better in that Rex is a Cyber-Dog (not that it would matter since he competes with his spot with ED), but still.

RIP to the actual dog.
