White Dog

Initial version
The White Dog is a dog pet in Crimson Desert. It can be found in the first town the player visits, making it one of the earliest available pets in the game. Like all pets, the White Dog is obtained by raising its trust to 100 through petting and feeding. Once registered, the White Dog follows Kliff on adventures and automatically collects loot dropped by defeated enemies and resources from the environment.
The White Dog is a light-colored, medium-sized dog that wanders near the bounty board in the starting town. Its early availability makes it a convenient first pet for players who unlock the pet system through the trust-building mechanic. Like all dog companions, the White Dog automatically loots defeated enemies and collects nearby resources during exploration.

Taming a dog in Crimson Desert follows the standard pet taming process:
Locate the dog in the overworld. Dogs can be found wandering settlements, roads, and encampments.
Approach the dog and hold the interaction button to pet it. Each petting interaction grants +5 trust, up to 5 times per in-game day (+25 total from petting).
Drop food on the ground near the dog by opening your inventory and placing a food item. The dog will eat it, gaining trust based on the food's quality.
Fine Meat grants the highest trust bonus for dogs. Feed the dog up to 3 times per day for maximum daily progress.
Repeat petting and feeding across multiple in-game days until trust reaches 100.
Once at maximum trust, interact with the dog and hold the button to select "Take In" to permanently register it as your pet.
With optimal feeding (Fine Meat) and full daily petting, a dog can be tamed in as few as two in-game days. Using lower-quality food will extend the process.
The White Dog's most notable spawn location is in the very first town the player encounters:
Starting town: A White Dog can be found wandering near the local bounty board in the first settlement Kliff visits.
White Dogs may also appear in other settlements across Pywel, though their spawn rate in later areas is not well documented.
If the dog is not near the bounty board, check the surrounding streets and return later if needed.
Once registered, summon the White Dog from the Pets tab in the inventory menu. Only one pet can be active at a time.
Pets automatically pick up loot from defeated enemies and gather resources in the environment, saving time during exploration and combat.
Pet Armor can be equipped on the White Dog for cosmetic changes. Pet armor is purely visual and provides no stat bonuses.
You can register up to 30 pets total. If you reach the cap, you must release an existing pet before adopting a new one.
The White Dog is one of the earliest pets you can begin building trust with. Start petting it on your first visit to the starting town.
Since trust takes multiple in-game days to reach 100, begin the process early and return to the starting town periodically to continue building trust.
