Ghost Dog

The Ghost Dog (name unknown) is a Labrador Retriever found in Dom Beasley's missions.

Description
The Ghost Dog is a yellow Labrador Retriever. The only two people it comes in contact with are Franklin Clinton and Dom Beasley, though Franklin is the only one who can see and communicate with the dog.

The dog, along with Dexie and Chop are the only dogs in Grand Theft Auto V that play a part in a mission.

Possible Origins
On an in-game website there is a picture of a family which includes two children, a father, a mother and the dog. The family was taking a trip in their Regina when they had an accident and crashed into a tree. The whole family, including the dog, died in the accident. The dog is first encountered in the Vinewood Hills where it leads Franklin to a stranded Dom, who got his parachute entangled in a tree. It is presumed that the ghost of the dog is acting as Dom's guardian angel. The dog also appears in Dom's final mission, where he jumps to his death.

The information about the family and the dog can be found in the in-game site www.accept-the-chaos.com.

Trivia

 * The dog's ability to communicate only with Franklin could possibly be a reference to both Franklin's caring attitude towards animals (i.e Chop) and the Border Collie Lassie, a dog who can communicate with humans.
