'''Guard dogs''' are animals that can be found in various man-made locations. For lower-level players, guard dogs can be tough to defeat with melee, due to their fairly high melee accuracy. They can be slain towards a dog [[Slayer task]], but [[Jackal]]s may be much easier.

The guard dogs by the fruit stalls at Xeric's Glade will only become aggressive if they detect a player trying to steal from the stalls. When they do, they will bark "Woof! Woof! Woof!" and proceed to attack.

[[Guard dog (Construction)|Guard dogs]] may also be purchased at level 74 [[Construction]] to guard a player's [[Dungeon (Construction)|Dungeon]].
