I think I lost Dogmeat...

[Silverhand]

So after you do the mission where you track down kellog, you can send Dogmeat back to wherever you want unless he's your companion right? Well..I went looking for him at several different places and he's not there. But I swear I sent him to the red rocket gas station and he's not there either. Anyone else have this issue?

[Almost Sir Gilman]

keep coming back to the rocket every one and then, he'll turn up eventually

[C4Warr10r]

Find the most important loot chest that you really want to get into. He'll be standing on top of it and won't move.

Go back to a save just before you sent him?

[Jubs]

I think I saw him still outside of the army base (Where Kellog is).

Fix for this - Build a doghouse at whatever settlement you last sent him to, if you never sent him to one, then at sanctuary, then wait 24-48 hours. Check doghouse and he will most likely be there.

What is there's already a doghouse there? As I checked it and he wasn't there.

Think back to those good times together and then go get a robot to follow you.

I can then send him wherever I want?

Agreed on the Dog House part, I lost Dogmeat after sending him to Sanctuary. I didn't see him for days but eventually found him out the back of a house on the corner of town that had a doghouse. He was happily sat inside, so now I've built one outside my shack in Sanctuary and he's always there.

He'll appear at your feet, and start wandering away to where ever you sent him. You can interact with him normally, since the command just teleports him to you. Have him join you, then send him away to wherever.

Console worked for me, lost Dogmeat a couple of times so far. And yes, just talk to him to send him somewhere.

I see, I did so and sent him to sanctuary, thank you very much.

No problem!

When you go back to Sanctuary for him, he'll be by one of the dog houses there. I found him by the one in the back yard just north of the house by the chem crafting station (I think it's the third or fourth house on the right when you enter town from the bridge).

I think I lost him too. I asked him to part ways and on the screen prompt where you tell him where to go I hit "cancel" cause I wanted to look at the map. As soon as I closed the prompt he started running like a bat out of hell. I chased him a ways out of the Sanctuary settlement until I gave up.

During the chase, I would catch up, start a coversation and say "let's go". But as soon as the convo ended he just continued running. After 3 attempts to get him back, I decided to let the disobient little pup go.

It was actually quite funny to experience. One of the many reasons I love this game. Whether it was a bug or not, it made me laugh so I let it fly.
