Can You Pet the Dog?

Shorts

You cannot pet the dog in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

R.E.P.O. has added a new monster named Elsa, who takes the form of a small dog. As long as you occasionally pet Elsa, it will remain non-aggressive. However, if you fail to pet the dog, Elsa will become unhappy.

A new Fortnite update has added roly poly mounts. If these individually-named creatures are wounded, they roll up into a ball and will need to be pet in order to soothe them. Then players can hop in for a ride.

It is not possible to kill enemy dogs in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle; you can only scare them into a docile state with the whip or gunfire. If the player points a gun at a defeated dog and pulls the trigger, Indy will check his gun instead of firing.

League of Legends' new champion Naafiri can be pet using the game's old cursor

One of the most thoughtful animation touches I've come across: animals tapping their feet in anticipation of pets (or in celebration thereafter). These sorts of details go a long way to making these friendly creatures feel alive.

In one of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's dungeons, players can come across a stone golem calmly petting a lava slime.

In Little Kitty, Big City, humans will react to your cat character's presence in various ways. Some will stop and take of a photo of you, whereas others will rush to pet you (after which you can nuzzle them back).

You can nuzzle the cow (and take a nap with them) in Astro Bot

In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, you can press up on the d-pad to say hi to every Waddle Dee in Waddle Dee Town.

Petting animals in Assassin's Creed Shadows unlocks them for your hideout, where you can place dozens of new friends.

In Elden Ring, there is one particular "enemy" dog that will not attack the player, instead remaining peaceful while it relaxes. Fans have speculated as to whether the dog's nonviolence is intentional or a bug. Either way, players have been leaving warm messages nearby.

In Wild Hearts, if you stealthily approach unaggressive wildlife, a prompt will appear to "Pet" or "Slay." Petting rewards the player with crafting materials.

In Star Wars Outlaws, you can pet your creature companion Nix at almost any time. You can also pet several other creatures in the game, but Nix may get jealous if you do so.

Today marks five years since I started this account. Thank you to every artist, animator, programmer, designer, and all developers who have put so much care into crafting these special moments of affection. You make video games brighter.

Early in Lost Records: Bloom &amp; Rage, the player is asked to remember the name of their childhood cat. Depending on whether they choose Pumpkin, Snowy, or Shadow, a different pettable cat will appear during a flashback.

Ghost of Yōtei has a rare idle animation wherein a bird briefly lands on Atsu's hand.

When Lies of P begins, Spring the cat is openly hostile to the player. However, as the player gains Humanity throughout the game, Spring will gradually become more affectionate.

Contrary to previous reports, you can still rescue the dog in the Resident Evil 4 remake.

In Nier: Automata, petting the robot pod enough times will result in special dialogue, which confirms that affinity has reached "maximum level." The pod then pledges to "protect 2B in any situation."

In Tiny Glade, sheep will peacefully wander the landscape as you construct your buildings. The sheep can be pet at any time, and will react to being enclosed in a structure — or if the ground is suddenly elevated under them.
