Guard dogs are dogs that follow guards around the prison like portable contraband detectors. They will raise your heat to 100% if you have contraband on you. They only come out at 2+ stars.

Guard dogs behave differently than most characters. You can only raise their opinion by feeding them. Having the Kennels job and raising the dogs' opinion of you makes the dogs not check you for contraband.

The only way to hide stolen keys from the guard dog is to use the grappling hook to reach a roof of a building and drop the key over there, as long as there are no vents leading up to that roof.

Annoyances

Speed

Dogs are very fast, and if one is chasing you it will be nearly impossible to escape them.

Vent Access

They can enter the vent system (even if covered) and traverse it.

Searching

Dogs will find stolen keys at all costs. If it is hidden in any container (even the Hidden Compartment), they will sniff it out and find it. If it is on a person, they will knock out the person and take the key. If it is on the ground (even in the vents) they will get to it and retrieve it. If a dog finds a key in a Hidden Compartment, all other items in the Hidden Compartment are still safe.

Invincibility

Dogs cannot be attacked or gotten rid of in any way. Raising their opinion will prevent them from checking you from contraband, but that's the most you can do.

Behavior

Dogs' behavior depends on the security level of the prison.

  • At 1 or fewer stars, they will stay in their kennels.
  • At 2-4.5 stars, they will choose a guard to follow around the prison.
  • At 5 stars (lockdown) they will roam the prison on their own, and attack you if you have 80%+ heat.
