— Description.

For a similar killstreak and scorestreak, respectively, see Attack Dogs and K9 Unit.

Guard Dog is a pointstreak available in Call of Duty: Ghosts. When activated, a dog will spawn, and follow the player similarly to the AH-6 Overwatch. It has more health than a regular player. When enemies are near, it will growl, notifying the player of enemies close by. When enemies are too close to it or the player, it will take them down in a single attack. Once a player dies, the Guard Dog will avenge their death by chasing after the player that killed them. The Guard Dog will stay in a match until the game ends or it is killed. 

Guards Dogs are useful companions in multiplayer, similarly to the Support Squadmate. Since they have more health than a regular player, enemies who are trying to gun down the Guard Dog will cause it to chase after them (If not killed when an enemy first spots them), and also alert the player to the presence of an enemy.

Trivia

• The Guard Dog has a wolf skin available as downloadable content. Since a recent patch, if the Wolf is selected, the Strike Chain icon changes to the wolf's face.
• The Guard Dog will drown in the water on Flooded.
• When two opposing Guard Dogs come across each other, they will jump at each other. Both will continue jumping until one of them is killed.
