In a heart-wrenching revelation within the vast universe of Starfield, a player recently uncovered the tragic lore detail that Labrador Retrievers have gone extinct. While this fact has long been established within the game’s lore, it seems that many fans had remained unaware until now.
Set in the 24th century, Bethesda’s expansive RPG delves into a time when humanity has forsaken its home planet to pioneer the uncharted territories of space. Unraveling the mysteries behind this mass exodus forms a central quest for players diving into Starfield’s main storyline.

However, one aspect of this futuristic world remains hauntingly clear: the absence of canines, with all breeds having met their demise. This grim reality is underscored by the presence of Chocolate Labs, a breakfast cereal shaped in homage to the extinct Labrador Retriever.
While some players stumbled upon this sorrowful revelation shortly after the game’s release in September 2023, it was only recently that Reddit user Serafim42 brought it to light, describing it as “the saddest thing” encountered in the game. The subsequent flood of screenshots and discussions on Reddit’s largest Starfield community highlighted that the knowledge of dogs’ extinction had evaded many players until now.
This is the saddest thing I've found, so far.

Starfield’s Canine Absence Questioned by Some Players
The absence of dogs in Starfield has sparked debates among fans, with some questioning the plausibility of a universe devoid of man’s best friend. Arguments vary, with some suggesting that people wouldn’t willingly abandon their beloved pets, while others speculate that both humans and their furry companions may have perished together.
Starfield Pet Mods: Potential Yet Far-off Possibility
Amidst these discussions, there have been calls for the modding community to introduce pets into Starfield. While such projects have yet to be announced, the prospect seems feasible given the history of Bethesda’s RPGs like Skyrim, which boast a plethora of pet mods.
However, the absence of pet models within the game presents a significant hurdle for modders, requiring substantial effort to create even the most basic pet mods. With Bethesda yet to release official mod tools for Starfield, the expectation of such endeavors is tempered by the current limitations. Nevertheless, there is optimism on the horizon, as recent activity in the Starfield Steam repository hints at the imminent arrival of Creation Kit 2, potentially opening doors for future modding endeavors.
