there is actually a mission in Skyrim that involves a talking dog, and it is one of the best missions because of how self-conscious it is: the writing understands that it is random, and it also understands that it is fantasy, so it takes liberties to be comical and to even make some meta-jokes.

the only thing that could have made the questline better would have been if the dog could become your companion - but it's perfect the way it is, because the game itself is a masterpiece in every way.

have you played it btw?
it's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It came out in 2010 for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 -- but you can also get it for the XboxOne and the PS4 as well, and also on modern systems (XboxX, PS5, Switch). There is an enhanced version called Skyrim: Special Edition if you care about advanced graphics. It is available on Steam rn.
I'm not trying to get you to play it or anything, I'm just saying that it is a very popular (but underrated) game that a lot of young people (like you) are enjoying and playing, and I'm sure they will appreciate it (and become your friends) if they knew you play it too.
Because it really is a masterpiece and not playing Skyrim now will be like not having read Hamlet in the 1600s.
