The dog (also known as doggo[1]) is a companion released on 12 April 2018 (V1.28 ).
This is not to be confused with the dog infected which was replaced by the tracker in alpha/early beta.
Quest
You first learn about the dog in the "New kinds of ally" quest (and learn his name is Pouch). After this quest, you must become friends with Sylvie Dawson (by earning 250 points with her). This can be done by, once a day, finding her dog in various zones and completing their task. Each task will earn you 25 points, thus requiring at least 10 days to complete.
After getting 250 points, return to Sacramento Suburbs and talk to Sylvie Dawson. A new quest will unlock. After this quest, you have to become friends with the dog (by earning 700 points).
Mission locations
Zmiany o 03:00 UTC.
You can find the location he's at for the day by going to in-game channel /chat doggo, or by using this tracker. You can find a log of previous day locations here (although this has very little use as the order changes for anyone starting the quest).

Befriending Sylvie
You can find dog food by search the all the nearby containers, or by killing infecteds. The easiest way to get steak is by going south west into the house where you found the 
energy bar during the original quest, and taking it off the stove (quality doesn't matter).
You need a 
shovel for this quest, if you don't bring one with you, your first objective is to find one, after that dig in a marked zone for a bone, if you find it, interact with the dog and follow the dog back to the spawn.
You need to kill 10 infected inside the school after interacting with it the first time. Then, wait for it to stop at the bookshelf and examine it. Follow the dog until it stops, it may take a while for the next objective to begin -- it is not bugged (It is bugged). Head to the 
unlit campfire where Sylvia is, after the quest is updated head to the (pool or the water display with two benches near it) then kill 17 more infected, then follow the dog to the spawn and talk to Sylvie.
Befriending Pouch
You'll be first prompted to go to the library, interact with the dog and then examine the table. Walk the dog to Tiscornia Park, and after the cutscene ends it will be at the memorial statue. Walk the dog to McKinley Park, and then find it behind the rubble on the right side. Kill 11 infected then interact with the dog.
Enter the pet store (around the bowling alley). After interacting with the dog, find and collect 2
shampoo bottles and a 
scrub, which can be found in the pet store. Scrubs and shampoos can be found near the pool (mirror in the left row of toilets, and under one the showers left of the pool itself), or in yellow janitor carts littered around the map, and in bathrooms.
Go to the Jellyfish Public Swimmingpool. Next to the waterslide, you will find the place where you rinse the dog (a shower head connected to the wall and a bucket is present here).
To "interact with the world task," you go southeast of the slide alongside the edge of the pool, where there is a white shelf with towels and a beach ball under it. Click this.
Go back to the same spot by the slide to dry off the dog.
When it says to capture the runaway dog for the first time, go to the opposite side of the pool of the slide (long part) near the benches. The dog is here. When scouting, go to the women's washroom (characterized by the pink tiled floors and the woman sign by the door).
The final runaway spot is back at the lounge, where the sofas are located. Go to the far corner of that area.
Normal golf balls will not work! You must find "new" ones by search containers or by killing infecteds and search any green glowing loot bags (recommended). Next you must follow the dog to 3 locations and defend him while he digs.
Sometimes it bugged so the dog doesn't move. Just follow the map on the right.
A pickaxe can be found in a small shack to the west of the dog, near the north east corner of the west gas station's fence. The bone is in the upper most pile of dirt near the rectangular hole.
Sometimes the final puddle doesn't generate enough of the "right" infecteds to count against your total - sometimes you'll get to 23 or 24/25 infected killed but it won't go to 25/25 no matter how many you kill in the area. If you leave the area and get far enough away the counter will reset to zero and it'll start spawning new, "right" infecteds to kill - you don't need to restart the quest from the beginning. You may need to do this a couple of times, though.
