Many "Fallout" fans still don't know that the franchise was partially inspired by Harlan Ellison's short story "A Boy and His Dog."
In 1969, he wrote a short story titled “A Boy and His Dog,” which tells the tale of a 15-year-old wasteland scavenger named Vic and his telepathic dog Blood. The story was also adapted into a 1975 film, which Fallout designer Jesse Heinig told The Escapist in 2009 "inspired Fallout on many levels" (including Dogmeat's name, which was taken from a nickname Vic gives Blood in the film).
It also influenced "Love and Monsters" (2020)
