Franklin's dog
The pet takes part in the game's storyline. It is associated with some tasks at the beginning of the passage, as well as part of the functions in the official mobile app iFruit.
History
The dog's name is Chop. Breed-Rottweiler. Initially, it is a favorite of Lamar-a friend of the main character. However, after completing the mission, Hood Safari offers Franklin to take the animal into his care. The character agrees, since he has long been familiar with Chop – he could walk him, feed him, or take him for a ride in the van.
The dog is represented by a non-unique model – similar animals can be found all over Los Santos. A distinctive feature is the green collar. The more time the hero devotes to the pet, the more useful it becomes when searching for UFO debris.

Walk
The next element of interaction is walking along the beach, street, and Park. Each location has a different design and gameplay:

Conclusion
Rockstar Games tried to convey the realism of dog ownership. If the animal is not trained, it will not perform useful commands. If you do not train your pet constantly and do not pay attention, it will become sad and refuse to walk. Animal care is implemented in the form of Tamagotchi and a number of mini-games.
