Bulldog is a pet dog that can be obtained after reaching level 4 in the Summoning skill. It can be obtained from the Pet Shop in either Taverley or Yanille. It has two stages, puppy and adult, and eats raw meat. It can also be given bones, but this does not reduce the pet's hunger meter.

At level 14 Summoning, you can talk to the bulldog.

Pre-release

[edit | edit source]
A man walking his pet bulldog.

An easter egg revealing the bulldog was revealed by one of Jagex's banner ads in early September 2007. It informed players about the Knowledge Base, and the search feature included in it. The word "bulldog" was typed in, and the search button was clicked. Search results were not shown in the banner ad.

However, this sparked many players' curiosity, and those who actually searched for "bulldog" were greeted with an article saying "Thanks for using the Knowledge Base!" and a picture of a man walking his pet bulldog.[1]

Jagex's wording of a Behind the Scenes article about Back to my Roots, which used the phrases, "sniffing around in the jungle" and "this quest's bark is worse than its bite" led many players to speculate that these bulldogs would be a part or a reward of this quest.

Jagex hinted that the Summoning update would include bulldogs. In the "Summoning: Part 1 - Concept" Development Diary, it said that the bulldog animation was "previously released as a teaser linked from a banner advert for the Knowledge Base". This hint was indeed true as bulldogs can be obtained from the Pet Shops in Taverley and Yanille at level 4 Summoning.

With the release of the 2007 Christmas event, a bulldog was seen roaming the streets of Yanille with its guardian, the Yanille Pet shop owner.
