 Dog (Half-Life 2) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dog has amazing strength, and can prove extremely useful through the course of the story, as it can throw large objects (such as vehicles) at enemies or pry open areas which are otherwise unaccessible by Gordon.
Dog started out as a relatively small robot, but as Alyx grew up she added more and more parts to it, "upgrading" it so to speak - and it now towers at about two and a half metres tall.
Apparently, Dog manages to find Barney eventually, as Gordon meets both of them in the square toward the end of the chapter "Follow Freeman!" in a humorous scene where Dog, in the heat of the battle, knocks over a huge statue of a horse that was player's goal during the last part of the chapter.

 dog - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about dog
Dogs in certain countries may also be at risk from rabies.
Dogs are present in the mythology and folklore of the earliest peoples – Fingal's companions Bran and Luath, Cavall ‘King Arthur's hound of deepest mouth’, and Hodain of the Tristram and Iseult story.
Dogs bury food, again like wolves, and there are close similarities too in sounds and communication behaviour, aggressive behaviour, courtship, and care of young.

 Half-Life 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The environments in Half-Life 2 are varied, ranging from the Eastern European-styled City 17 and surrounding areas, to the massive Combine citadel.
Many of the weapons featured in Half-Life 2 are carried over from Half-Life, including the crowbar for mêlée fighting, the conventional firearms of the SPAS-12 shotgun,.357 Magnum revolver, crossbow, and rocket propelled grenade launcher as well as the Gauss Gun experimental particle weapon.
Half-Life 2 picks up the story in City 17 and assumes the player took the G-Man up on his offer in the previous game.

 Half-Life 2 (2004) at Binary Bonsai
Half-Life 2 however deals with the linearity by a string of pearls, where each pearl is a playground of some sort for the player, be it as small and truly 'playground' like as tossing a ball with Dog or something larger, like one of the small stops along the coastal stretch.
A strike of poetic justice perhaps, that Half-Life 2 were to be the game that had not only been pushed back the furthest, but also the one that has had by far the most arduous development journey and now finally the only one that manages to lift its own weight, and then some.
That Gamespot actually awarded Halo 2 with a higher grade than Half-Life 2 is preposterous, regardless of the margin.

Sprint to the other side of the room, and use the capsule that goes away from the electric zapper (or whatever it is).

 Half-Life 2 [E3 2004] Feature for PC on GamePro.com
All told, the Half-Life 2 presentation didn't really showcase anything we didn't already know or expect: the physics are going to be incredibly fun, the production value is going to be nuttily high, and the level of immersion is going to be par to none.
The next segment offered a small taste of the other kinds of areas and enemies you'll encounter in Half-Life 2: a monk named Grigori (bearing a shotgun) greeted you and then proceeded to run into what appeared to be a graveyard at the bottom of a cliff.
Other fun facts: Gabe Newell is playing the World of Warcraft beta (the only game he allows himself to play until HLF2 ships) and says he loves it.

If Half-Life 2 does not quite reach the transcendence of the first game, it is still a marvel of design, still one of the best games of 2004, and still ample proof that Valve operates at a higher creative level than most everyone else in this business.
As in the first game, Half-Life 2 just drops you into the action and makes you deal—and it’s such a cool way to start a game that you have to wonder why no one else seems to do it.
Once the action actually begins, however, it takes all of about 20 seconds to get over any installation woes and realize you are back in the hands of game designers who draw you into their world with anticipation and suspense.

 GameSpy: Half-Life 2 Preview
To help give us an idea of all the characters and creatures we'll be meeting in Half-Life 2, we were taken on a tour of "The Zoo," another makeshift level where many of the game's models could be seen on display.
For Half-Life 2, Valve has implemented a morphing technology that allows them to take their core set of models and blend them together to create an endless amount of characters.
Another important creature in the zoo: the "ant lion," which was shown off during a number of demos throughout the day, and will actually fight on your side in a few areas.

Half-Life 2 is a very impressive and engaging shooter, and a faithful follow-up to one of the greatest PC games of all time.
We believe that theorizing about the meaning behind the clues in the Half-Life 2 universe, and the motivations of the characters within it, is one of the fun things about being a Half-Life 2 fan.

 AVault PC Half-Life 2 Review
Of course, Half-Life 2 didn't appear on store shelves in 2003, a fact that has been part of a controversy that is interesting in itself.
There are also some new characters, such as Alyx Vance, the attractive daughter of one of Freeman's scientific colleagues, her giant robotic guardian, DOG, and numerous human resistance fighters.
In Half-Life 2, players once again take the role of the crowbar-wielding MIT-trained scientist Gordon Freeman, who had been left in limbo by his mysterious employer, the G-Man, following the events in Half-Life.

 Amazon.com: Xbox - Half-Life 2: Computer & Video Games
But I understand to play Half Life 2 on a PC fluidly requires thousands in upgrades, etc. It's just not worth it to me. That's a lot of beer I could be drinking, money to be gambling.
Now, Half-Life 2 on the P.C. doesn't take an entirely high tech computer, in fact you can have a graphic card with Direct X7 for this game on the P.C. If you own the P.C. version I'm sure you have been told before there is no reason to buy it on Xbox, which is true.
In Half-Life 2, the flaws are still there but you only need to be about ten feet away instead of twenty.

In Half Life 2 Gordon is again humanity's only hope against a whole sea of alien trouble as he joins up with another scientist Eli Vance and his daughter Alyx, in a mission is to save the world from being overrun by the Xen invaders.
Half-Life 2 is set some time after the original Half-Life ended--with Gordon now in the employ of the ambiguous G-Man. The action takes place in the environs of the Eastern European-esque, City 17.
The use of the gravity gun is very fresh and original, one of the most enjoyable parts first time round is the bit when you're playing catch with dog using the gravity gun.

 "Half Life 2"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
The sound in Half-Life 2 is top notch from the score of music that helps set up the mood in particular points to sound affects and voices, it all works together beautifully.
Half-Life 2 is very violent in nature as you could say all first person shooters are.
Half-Life 2 is a very enjoyable game, has very minor swearing, and no spiritual demonic affect.

 Half-Life 2 - Ferrago
The very first thing that people notice about Half-Life 2 is how pretty everything is. This is almost exclusively down to the vivid diversity of textures that the very impressive Valve art department has used to create a richly believable world.
Ideally hope the rumoured downloadable episode staring Dog sees the light of day as the robot was the most personable character in the game.
Yet soon after she entered your life you realised that all your prior experiences amounted to little more than adolescent fumblings.

Half-Life 2 was one of the best games I have ever played (Half-Life 1 was better only because it was much cooler at the time).
As long as this half life 2 doesn't have jerky gameplay with the nvidia chipset and a ATI card.
HL2 is great and I hope Valve keeps up with "episodic content" which means that they can possibly extend the life of a game by continually releasing new episodes, such as Aftermath.

Once the time limit was almost up, I grabbed the toy Dog was playing with and threw it near the dumpster, so when he had to run to the dumpster on the next part he wouldn't have far to go.
If you hit the combine trigger and wait around this amount of time (approximately 9-10 seconds), THEN hit the trigger that spawns Dog, the combine timer has already ended and Dog assumes them to be dead.
If you duckjump on top of the object and stay there for half a second, then try to jump, you may find you are stuck either under or in one of the jagged edges of the object.
