Hangdogs

Hangdogs was a tribe in the Four States in 2253.

Background
The Hangdogs tribe was a society that emerged on the outskirts on Denver. Learning how to coexist with the hounds that dominated the city, they considered the hounds to be their spirit animals, worthy of worship. The dogs helped them hunt, provided sustenance in lean times, allowing the tribe to survive in the brutal post-nuclear world.

When Caesar's Legion arrived, the Hangdogs resisted them better than other tribes in the region, but Legate Lanius put them to the sword. The Legate broke their spirit by throwing the hounds of the Hangdogs onto a burning pyre. The beliefs of the Hangdogs dictated that such a death would mean their spirits would burn forever in the afterlife. The horror brought by this realization destroyed the tribe's elders. Hangdogs surrendered and were assimilated by the Legion. Still, some of their culture would survive. Caesar, impressed with their skills in dog handling, conscripted the surviving tribesmen into the Legion as houndmasters, training some of the finest war dogs in the wastes.

These guys are all about dogs: pets, food, guards, etc. The Hangdogs are slavers and scavengers, and are often in league with Hecate.

The Hangdogs are a group of tribals with a mixed reputation across the wasteland. Neither known for being particularly brutal or kind, The Hangdogs mostly keep to themselves, living in northeastern Colorado near Denver – or, as the NCR calls it, "Dog Town". The Hangdogs run with packs of dogs that have been taken from the hordes that reportedly infest Denver.

Appearances
The Hangdogs were to appear in the canceled Fallout 3 project by Black Isle codenamed Van Buren, however they are mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas.
