Running Dog is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to Carl Johnson by Big Smoke at Big Smoke's house in Idlewood, Los Santos.

Summary

CJ goes to Smoke's house. Upon arriving there, he finds Officer Tenpenny and Officer Pulaski leaving his house. Smoke tells CJ that they are trying to extract information from him. Later on, he tells him that his cousin is coming to Los Santos from Mexico.

The two drive to a place to meet two Vagos gang members. After a short mixed Spanlish conversation, Smoke knocks one out using a baseball bat while the other runs away. CJ manages to catch and kill the other Vagos member.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Get into Big Smoke's car
  • Drive Big Smoke to the meet
  • Chase down the gang member

Reward

The reward for this mission is increased respect. The mission Wrong Side of the Tracks is unlocked.

Trivia

  • This is the only mission for Big Smoke where you aren't required to use a motorbike.
  • During this mission, the Vagos you are pursuing will enter a Sentinel, which can be acquired.
  • A dialogue was cut before release[1]
  • The line the second Vagos member uses roughly translates to "Fuck your mother, dickhead.".
  • The place where CJ and Smoke park is the same place where CJ and Sweet park during End of The Line.
