DESCRIPTION
This mod adds six standalone husky followers in Riverwood. You don't have to be in Dawnguard to make them Your companion. You can give them three basic commands - Follow, Wait and Dismiss.
With MangoMonkey's help I managed to fix huge bug. Update Your files and You should be able to recruit huskies properly now.
I used DARKF0X127's tutorial, as I have NO IDEA about scripting. If the dialog doesn't appear at all try typing "set playeranimalcount to 0" in the console (this will dismiss any animal follower You have!).
I'd also like to allow player to have more than one husky follower at once, but again I have no idea how. If anyone is interested in fixing bugs or developing this, feel free to contact me. It's WIP, so You may encounter other bugs.
The mod works pretty well with UFO.
If You want Your husky to have different eye color go to my other mod page, where You can find all textures (each variant comes with green and blue eyes). Download the one You want and place it in The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim\Data\textures\actors\dlc01\armoreddog. You will find textures called for example huskyjake.dds and huskyjake2.dds - replace both of them with desired variant.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,093 endorsements and 16,821 downloads.
- Simple and straightforward: just adds dogs, no complex scripts.
- Standalone followers mean no conflicts with other creature mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013, so may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or DLC.
- Only adds huskies in Riverwood, so if you want variety or other locations, this mod is limited.
For Skyrim players who want loyal canine companions without messing with complex follower frameworks. If you're a dog lover and spend time in Riverwood, this is a quick grab. Skip if you need fully voiced or quest-aware followers.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2013, make sure to check if it works with your Skyrim version (Oldrim vs Special Edition).
- If you use a mod manager, install it manually or via manager, but load order shouldn't matter much for standalone followers.
- Look for the huskies near the Riverwood sawmill or the main road—they're easy to spot.
