A fan-made modification for Grand Theft Auto V, known as DogDog, now allows players to summon a diverse range of animals into the game world. This mod expands beyond its initial focus on canines, enabling the appearance of cats, cows, lions, and at least one chimpanzee. The mod's description suggests players can summon their "favorite dogs in any quantity you desire," but its capabilities extend further.
By combining DogDog with another existing mod, 2gether, players can theoretically create elaborate animal escorts. This allows for scenarios such as patrolling the game's streets with a group of dogs while a chimpanzee rides on the player character's back. The game's environment, Los Santos, is noted by the mod's creator as not being designed to inherently support a large animal population, making such mods a way to rectify this.
Despite these additions, the game world still contains elements such as gang wars and airborne vehicles, which can pose a threat to the summoned animals within the game. The creator of the mod humorously notes that "sometimes bad things happen to the animals" and that players must navigate these dangers, implying a need to manage or protect the modded creatures.
