Chop

Without a doubt the foremost prevalent dog in the GTA franchise, Chop is a big dog with a big heart who has the distinction of being the first playable pet in the GTA series. This Rottweiler, along with a slew of other dog breeds, made Grand Theft Auto history by being the first dogs to physically appear in the franchise, dogs had only been alluded to or heard in previous installments. As mentioned earlier, Chop is playable during one of Grand Theft Auto V's earlier missions . Furthermore, Chop can undergo moderate sessions of obedience training which will allow gamers to teach him new tricks over time.

Chop is originally the pet of Lamar Davis, a close friend of Franklin's and an occasional associate of Michael's and Trevor's. Due to a set of unforeseen circumstances, Lamar asks Franklin if he can leave Chop in his care. Franklin agrees and from that point onward, Chop becomes a stalwart companion of the GTA V's main trio and takes a particular liking to Franklin. The creators of GTA V went the extra mile, in order to make Chop feel like a living and breathing dog; as mentioned earlier, Chop can be taught new tricks and adorned in a variety of clothing options. Chop also has a "happiness meter" which is affected by the way in which players treat him; if the game indicates that Chop is upset, he'll be less likely to assist players and answer when his name is called. But if Chop's happy, he'll help players find hidden packages, alongside learning new tricks and helping players in combat. All of these factors have endeared Chop to many members of the GTA fandom, leading him to gain something of a fan following all his own.

The GTA franchise has been physically devoid of dogs up until GTA V, but hopefully this lovable pooch's warm reception will pave the way for more prominently featured furballs in the Grand Theft Auto franchise' future. GTA V is considered to be a ground breaking entry in the franchise for a number of reasons, but the way in which they introduced dogs into the series was well regarded by many dog loving gamers. GTA V also hosts a number of popular dog breeds such as Rottweilers and Golden Retrievers in the standard version, and Poodles, Siberian Huskies, Border Collies, West Highland Terriers and Pugs in the Enhanced Version.

Grand Theft Auto Dog Name Considerations

The characters within the Grand Theft Auto games are nothing if not an incredibly sympathetic lot of misfits and many gamers have found themselves deeply invested in these characters' twisted and tragic tales; maybe you've found that you're particularly partial to the plight of GTA Vice City's Thomas "Tommy" Vercetti, who finds himself in an "out of the frying pan, into the fire," scenario the moment he's let out of prison. Perhaps GTA San Andreas' main character, Carl "CJ" Johnson, who's dragged back into the criminal lifestyle after his mother's untimely passing is your choice. Many players come to the Grand Theft Auto series for the open ended and over-the-top game play but the enterprisingly rich and characters are one of the main reasons why so many GTA fans have stuck around for so long. And you can pay tribute to Tommy, CJ, or any of the other great GTA protagonists by naming your dog after them.

Conversely, the GTA games take place in fictional versions of real world locations, each of which have just as much personality and life as their real world counterparts. Were you a big fan of the New York City inspired "Liberty City" in which the story of GTA IV was set? Why not name your dog Liberty to reference the city that's great to visit but that's even better to leave? The GTA world has many locations that have been painstakingly made to capture the beauty and grandeur of various real world iconic locales, so consider naming your dog after your favorite GTA location or landmark to give them a unique and iconic name.
