With the dog on the road: Dogmeat and lonely untrainer

The animal Fallout 4 companion[link to companion guide if live] has some unique features, which makes him stand out from all other companions. For one, the loyal shepherd loves you unconditionally, so your relationship will neither improve nor deteriorate no matter what you do. In exchange, you won't be able to learn a companion skill from him, nor will you be able to romance him. This shouldn't bother you, because Dogmeat has other advantages to offer.

When you reach at least level 3 in the Charisma attribute, you unlock the "Lonely Wanderer" perk. At the highest level, it grants you 100 percent extra carrying capacity and 30 percent extra damage resistance, while at the same time dealing 25 percent more damage. With the DLC "Far Harbour" you also get 25 action points on top. The catch is that all bonuses are dropped once you're traveling with a companion.
