Unlock condition and board standing
Good Boy occupies row 15 of 20 on the achievement board (API key ACH_GOOD_BOY) as a visible milestone with the description A little kindness goes a long way. Unlocked by 76.8% of Steam players, it is the fourth most common achievement in the game.
This stamp celebrates befriending and caring for the yard puppy that accompanies you around the bunker entrance and outdoor potato pile during your shift.
Shift context and related milestones
On the board, Good Boy pairs directly with A Heart of Gold (62.0%, Even the smallest act of kindness matters), linking the two warmth-and-kindness milestones in Potato Please. Over three quarters of all players interact with the dog early in their playthrough.
Once befriended, the puppy helps out around the snowy yard by peeling occasional tubers, though potatoes peeled by the dog do not count as machine output for quests.
Workstation notes and version 1.0.2 details
Hotfix 1.0.1 and Hotfix 1.0.2 refined how the puppy behaves during yard shifts: the dog no longer gets stuck while carrying a potato, can no longer clip through closed doors, and muting the puppy in audio settings also silences its lost whine.
In addition, neither the puppy nor the potato vacuum can pick up the special key potato from the pile, ensuring the key potato is never accidentally whisked away before you grab it by hand.
