## Summary

Buddy is the dog Jason addresses by that name in GTA 6 footage, though PC Gamer cautions it may be an affectionate term rather than an actual name. Petting dogs is confirmed across the Extended Look coverage — Eurogamer notes you can pet, scold or study them, and GameSpot confirms the pet and scold prompts — which ties into the Criminal Profile system that rewards small good deeds. Whether he is a persistent companion or a one-scene presence has not been established.
