River, the dog that Fallout 4’s Dogmeat was based on, has died. [https://www.polygon.com/2021/6/28/22553991/fallout-4-dogmeat-actor-dies-obituary-rip-river-joel-burgess](https://www.polygon.com/2021/6/28/22553991/fallout-4-dogmeat-actor-dies-obituary-rip-river-joel-burgess)

I am doing Survival so fast travel is disabled, but I looked for him around the Red Rocket as well as Sanctuary and haven’t found him. I’m on my way to do the first Minutemen quest and will look again when I get back.
