Where are all the dog and toy locations in Control Resonant?

Every Dog Has Her Day spans seven Manhattan districts, each hiding a mysterious dog and a blue plush dragon toy. The Gap is the final meetup location where the dog rests. Returning all seven toys advances Notes: Every Dog Has Her Day and unlocks the Dog’s Best Friend trophy upon interacting with the dog in The Gap.

Delivering each toy in Every Dog Has Her Day solves one of Manhattan's environmental routing puzzles. Use this guide to find the starting fast-travel points, locate the stray dogs and blue plush dragons in all seven zones, and learn where the dog stays in The Gap.

How Every Dog Has Her Day works

Notes: Every Dog Has Her Day is a multi-district side quest spread across seven Manhattan zones and completed at The Gap hub. In each district, a stray dog waits by a bed, and a blue plush dragon toy sits in an adjacent warped structure.

  • The Objective: Locate the dog, track down the plush dragon in the immediate sector, carry it back to the dog bed, and deliver it.
  • Carrying Restrictions: While holding the plush toy, standard weapon attacks are unavailable. Dylan retains full access to jump, mantle, climb, Shift, and gravity plane transitions.
  • Tether Distance: Do not carry the toy too far outside the active sector boundaries, or the toy will despawn back to its original resting spot.
  • Order of Completion: You can complete the seven district tasks in any order as zones unlock during the main campaign. The Gap serves purely as the finale once all seven are retrieved.
