Bodega

Bodega is one of eight sled dogs you can adopt at the beginning of the game.

Bodega's Quest
Bodega’s first event is started when the sled falls through the frozen lake (the first one; it is not always easily activated), and he rescues the teams by dragging the sled onto the ice. Bodega then takes a piece of meat as a reward. Bodega should be pet after this to continue.

Later, much closer to the cabin, a wolverine will attempt to steal food from the sled. Before it can, Bodega will leap in front of it and fight it off, and sometimes a message will appear saying “Bodega will consider this” after the musher tells him “there will always be more food.”

Bodega can also have encounters with weasels along the way, where if you decide to follow a pair of weasels, one will attempt to steal a piece of food. Bodega will kill it, and the message “Bodega does not like sharing” will appear. This doesn’t appear required to finish his story (?).

Throughout the story, if carcasses of caribou are encountered, there is an option to “Let Bodega have a snack.” This does not progress his story.
