I've bought a dog just once. It had max. 300hp (I was on lvl 2 at the moment) and cost around 300 caps. Though when I bought it, he was almost dead and had crippled limbs. He wasn't any good excep carrying stuff taking damage instead of me.

About having some sort of safe haven for newcomers has its ups and downs. The Wasteland is a harsh place to begin with, but sanctuaries could be easily exploited by experienced players. Therefore random spamming is a better option, however the newcomer should be able to trigger these learning quests from any possible starting town [perhaps limitating the possibilities to ease the Dev's workload?].

Either way, the beginning with only a few encouraging words from experienced wastelanders is perhaps a bit too harsh for everyone [I know some of you don't require such help]. By having these learning quests there's wouldn't be such a great need for merciful Samaritans.

 I totally disagree. There's enough information about crafting and how to make a tent in the manual and wiki. I was very frustrated before I got my tent, but when I finally got it, it was more than tits. Plus, I think it would skip the most valuable lession of all : don't trust anyone, but don't think you'll get far by yourself.
 Sure, there are assholes who will "help you hunt brahmin for hides", but who actually end up killing you and taking all your stuff. There are also good samaritans, who aid you in your travels and maybe give new players a gun or an armor. And that's what I like most about this game : you have to interact with real people instead of NPCs. Five lvl 1 characters have a better chance of survival than going solo.
 The wasteland is a harsh and unforgiving place and there are gangs who kill new players just for fun.
