Yes, I know about 3's good ending and how all that works, I don't want to spoil it for anyone who wants to play it but hasn't before, but I appreciate how they handled it, as I understand it. And that twist is revealed somewhere in the middle, so you can grind out the good ending or you can take the easy way out. Fable 2 had you go all the way to the end, gave you one wish and 3 options to choose from, then pulls the rug out from under you. Unless you're evil and you just take the money. Regarding the dog:

spoilerThere's no option to save the dog. Not sure where you're getting that. I don't remember a dog. I know you could get a pet and they could die and you could get another one. But there's no wish to bring a pet back. The evil wish is money, and lots of it, but it's the end of the game so it's purely symbolic. The other two endings are "bring back everyone who was killed by the bad guys" or "bring back your family." The game pushes the value of family from the very beginning, but apparently choosing your family is a second bad ending and your family basically hate you for putting them before some strangers. Which doesn't track with the rest of the game.

Ok I had to look it up since it had been so long since I beat 2. Take the gold is evil ending but like I said money is easy to get by the end game. The good ending is to leave your family dead and save everyone sacrificed to build the tower, the reward is a statue and knowing a bunch of NPCs that you can't meet in the game are alive. Love brings back your family and dog, I was thinking that the dog and family were separate. Anyway family feels guilty about the trade but who cares the wife can be replaced, the dog is needed to get rest of the silver keys and other things that you couldn't access until the end game so dog is the most useful reward, plus being best boy.

So it's love, gold, and a tower? Yeah I still pick gold.

It's been a while since I played but I thought you could have different pets and replace them as they go (since pets tend to be canon fodder in a lot of games).
