Hylian Retrievers are a type of Dog often found at Stables and settlements throughout Hyrule. They are omnivorous, and will eat certain Materials, such as Meats, Fruits, and vegetables, if they are nearby. They will also move around a lot more than any other domesticated animal, chasing their own tails, rolling onto their backs, crouching down. After being exposed to Rain, they will shake their bodies to dry themselves off.
Hylian Retrievers have been commonly referred to as "man's best friend" since ancient times.[3] Due to their intelligence and obedience, they are also great at watching over livestock.[3] In addition to this, it is believed that all modern Retrievers are descended from a Dog owned by a former King of Hyrule.[3]
If Link stands close to or feeds a Hylian Retriever, it will become happy, signified by a pink blush effect appearing around its head.[4] While it is happy, the Dog will follow Link around a short distance. If Link feeds a Retriever three times while it is happy, it will lead Link to a buried Treasure Chest nearby.[5][6]

They're very clever and obedient, so aside from serving as pets, they are also put to work watching over grazing livestock. It's said that all Hylian retrievers are descendants of the dog once owned by the king of Hyrule." — Hyrule Compendium (Breath of the Wild)

On your journey, you may have already come across some of the many stables dotted across Hyrule. But did you know that you can befriend the dogs at these stables? The dogs will start to like you if you spend some time with them, so stand nearby and be good company. Once they are happy, try feeding them three pieces of meat or three pieces of fruit. They may even find a nice surprise for you!
