I'm thinking....yes.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, play FO2, get science to around 90 or so, go NCR, talk to Dr. Henry.

Nope. He's a Police Robo-Dog from Denver that the Legion picked up when they rolled through there. Confirmed in pre-released material and evidenced by the seriel numbers on his back. I don't know what evidence you have to support this idea really, Dog-Meat in FO2 was an easter-egg from a special encounter and the Cyberdog you get from Navarro was sentient so it can't be either.

The dogs you mentioned are not whom I refer to. At least, you do not get cyberdog in Navarro. You get from Dr Henry in NCR.

Who the same Dr Henry in FONV I would imagine.

Brain gone bad. So, who is it say after FO2 Dog roamed around, went Colorado, got taken by Legion, etc.

And not to mention that this dog is part of Enclave experimentation that going on a little before FO2, seeing how Dr Henry is not 150 years old, and the only cyberdog experimenta we know of are his and Big Mountain, I would put cyberdogs as a rare thing.

Haha, well if those arent the ones you refere to, maybe you should have made it clearer to begin with? There are after all, several dogs available in F2.

I'm nigh certain that it was confirmed that he was a normal dog during the pre-war years before being "enlisted" to the Denver City Police Department.

Zero chance that he's the Chosen One's dog in my opinion.

Maybe not. But, Dr. Henry hooks him up with new brain. Maybe pooch gone full circle.

But, if it a confirmed pre-war dog...that an old dog. It is part real, part machine, pure joy. Seems like doggy flesh rot away after 200 years though, and would make more sense if dog 40.

Found it. The quote is from one of his ending slides.


"He had survived police service in Colorado, the Great War, combat duty with the Legion, and being the companion of The King. But, in the end, Rex finally succumbed to the horrors of the wasteland."

Way to ruin it, Ron Perlman.

While it's the same Henry at Jacobstown, Rex isn't the cyberdog from 2. There's no little linking hint to be found. It's as true as the Courier being the Chosen One's son(Not true, never to be canon. But vagueness allows you to RP as an offspring/grandkid if you wish. Just as you can roleplay as anything else)

Obviously Henry helped with the brain transplant due to his knowledge of the area along with 2's K-9 which he took when he departed the Enclave.

We know Rex was a police dog from Denver who somehow got into the King's company, and through both NV and Van Buren documents we know Denver is filled with cyberdogs, meaning 2's was in no way unique and with Rex from Denver not being one from Navarro(Henry took it from Novarro before the start of 2. That cyberdog was also made by the other scientist at Novarro. It wasn't a police unit dog)Plus OWB had them as well.

And speaking of Denver, anyone know if the New Plague still persisting to 3/New Vegas's timeline is canon? On a separate but related note the pre-war Hoover Dam sabotage by Chinese agents of the U.S.'s biological weapon to use on Chinese soldiers/Enemy states is still being debated as well but with the stealth suits being there it's clear Obsidian wants it set as canon.

As far as I know, nothing has contradicted it so it very well could be.

He's a police dog from Denver, not a renegade experiment from back West that happened to hook up with Caesar in the East

Antony mentions that Caesar used to have a dog that looked just like Rex, but they became separated in battle and no one could find Rex afterwards. Assuming that the dog was Rex and that the battle took place near the Mojave (possibly Hoover Dam I), I would say that Rex probably wandered into Freeside and was picked up by the King.

fixed

Thanks, I forgot about that part.

Rex was a police dog prewar, who became a cyberdog at some point, then had the misfortune to encounter the CL, then ended up with The King.
He's not connected to any other cyberdogs or dogs. He is himself.

He goes to Dr Henry because Dr Henry is the leading expert in cyberdogs.

It was fortunate for Rex to fall into Legion hands actually, otherwise he'd be dead or with a fiend/raider like group and completely untrained and battle hardened.

Isn't Dr.Henry the leading doctoer in neuro-science and not specifically cyberdogs?

He's a leading expert in neuro science and cyberdogs. But I thought it was more pertinant to say just the cyberdog part, at the time.

"Dr. Henry used to work with the Enclave cyber-genetic research program at the Poseidon oil rig and at various other Enclave installations."
