   For more information, read "A Boy and his Dog", from the same (eponymous) collection of short stories.

   ...which was written by author Harlan Ellison, also notable for the Star Trek (TOS) episode known as "The City on the Edge of Forever."

   I believe that Harlan Ellison's "A Boy and His Dog" was also a major influence behind it.

   It's strange, you rarely hear it mentioned in the same breath as other post-apocalyptic literature like A Boy and His Dog or I Am Legend. I was only made aware of it while reading an article about the making of Fallout.

   So, thanks for the indirect recommendation!

   See Ellison's A Boy and His Dog. Vic's dog Blood expects lots more than "premium++ dog food".

   Right. It'll be some mix of police, ex-military and professional criminals.

   Edit: Reminds me of Harlan Ellison's A Boy and His Dog. The film adaptation was OK too.
