This guide provides a complete map of all dog locations for 101 Dogs Hidden in London, helping you find every last one of the charming canines scattered across its beautiful, hand-drawn cityscape. The game's core delight is its massive, single-canvas map, but its sheer density can make the final few dogs a real challenge. We've divided the entire landscape into four logical zones to make your search methodical and efficient.

Unlike other hidden object games, 101 Dogs features interactive elements. You'll need to click on doors, windows, bus blinds, and even telephone boxes to reveal some of the more cleverly concealed pups. This guide covers both the standard finds and these interactive secrets. The game also features two modes: Normal, with fixed locations, and Advanced, which randomizes a subset of the dogs for replayability. This guide focuses on the definitive Normal mode locations required for the main achievement.

A Strategic Approach to Your Canine Quest

Success in this game isn't just about sharp eyes; it's about strategy. Before you dive in, understand the two main types of dogs you're looking for. The first are the static dogs, sitting in plain sight but often camouflaged by the intricate line art. The second, and trickier, type are the interactive dogs, which require you to manipulate the environment. A tell-tale shimmer or a slightly ajar feature is often your only clue that an object can be clicked.

Don't forget to use the in-game hint system if you're truly stumped, but be aware it has a cooldown. Our zoned approach below should minimize your need for it. The key is to be systematic: clear one zone completely before moving to the next. Scan each building from roof to foundation, check every vehicle, and click anything that looks remotely out of place. This methodical sweep is far more effective than random clicking.

Zone 1: The South Bank & Tower Bridge (Dogs 1-28)

The southern and eastern part of the map is dominated by the River Thames, Tower Bridge, and modern landmarks. This area is dense with crowds, street performers, and vehicles, creating a wealth of hiding spots.

Along the Queen's Walk

  • On the HMS Belfast: Look through the portholes. One of the windows on the main deck has a dog peeking out.
  • City Hall Steps: A tiny chihuahua is hiding behind the leg of a person sitting on the large, curved steps.
  • The Scoop: A dalmatian is cleverly blended into a black-and-white poster on the wall of the sunken amphitheater.
  • Street Performer's Hat: A busker dressed as a statue has a small terrier sitting inside their top hat on the ground.
  • Behind a Food Stall: Click the roll-down shutter of a closed food vendor to reveal a hungry-looking beagle.

Atop Tower Bridge and The Shard

  • Tower Bridge Bascule: One dog is riding on the rising arm of the bridge itself, visible only when you click to open it.
  • High-Level Walkways: A corgi is enjoying the view from the upper walkway connecting the two towers.
  • The Shard's Peak: Right at the very top, a dog's face is formed by the convergence of glass panels. It’s an easy one to miss.
  • Office Window: About halfway up The Shard, click on a window with its blinds mostly down. A snoozing greyhound is inside.

Zone 2: The City of London & St. Paul's (Dogs 29-55)

This central zone is a mix of old and new, with the historic St. Paul's Cathedral surrounded by modern financial skyscrapers. The architectural detail here is immense, providing perfect camouflage for many dogs.

Financial District Friends

  • The Gherkin's Reflection: A dog isn't on the Gherkin, but its silhouette is visible in the reflection on a window of an adjacent building.
  • Leadenhall Market: Look up. A dog is sleeping in one of the hanging flower baskets beneath the ornate Victorian roof.
  • Inside a Black Cab: Click the door of a parked black taxi to find a bulldog passenger.
  • Bank of England: A very proper-looking dog wearing a tiny bowler hat is sitting on the steps of the Bank of England building.

Cathedral Canines

St. Paul's Cathedral is a hotspot, with at least five dogs hidden on or immediately around it. You'll need to scrutinize its facade, dome, and surrounding gardens carefully.

  • Golden Gallery: A dog is peeking out from behind the golden ball at the very top of the dome.
  • Bell Tower Window: Click on one of the arched windows in the main towers; a dog will pop its head out and bark (silently).
  • Among the Pigeons: In the square in front of the cathedral, one of the 'pigeons' is actually a small, grey dog.
  • Behind a Column: One of the large columns of the main entrance has a dog hiding behind its base.

Zone 3: Westminster & The West End (Dogs 56-82)

This is the political and cultural heart of London on the map. Expect dogs in royal, governmental, and theatrical settings. The crowds are thick here, so be sure to check between people's legs and in their bags.

Parliament Pups & Royal Hounds

  • Big Ben's Clock Face: A dog is sitting on the minute hand of the clock. You may need to wait for it to move to a visible position (the clock hands do move slowly!).
  • Houses of Parliament Rooftop: Check the intricate gothic spires. A scruffy terrier is perched on one of the gargoyles.
  • Buckingham Palace Guard: One of the iconic guards in the bearskin hat has a tiny puppy peeking out from inside his tunic. Click on the guard to make him shift.
  • The Victoria Memorial: A regal-looking afghan hound is sitting at the base of the golden statue in front of the palace.

Theatreland Terriers

  • Advertising Hoarding: A massive theatre billboard has a dog incorporated into the show's artwork.
  • Piccadilly Circus Screens: The huge digital screens will occasionally flash an animation that includes a running dog. You have to click it while it's visible.
  • Inside a Red Phone Box: Click the door of a classic red telephone box to find a dog tangled in the receiver cord.

Zone 4: The Outskirts & River Fun (Dogs 83-101)

The final set of dogs are found in the less-dense areas at the edges of the map, including parks, residential streets, and on the river itself.

Park Pooches and Final Finds

  • In a Tree: A dog is hiding in a knothole of a large tree in the main park.
  • On a Canal Boat: A dog is the captain of a narrowboat on the canal. Click the boat's horn to make him appear.
  • Abbey Road Homage: Find the famous crosswalk. A fifth, canine member has joined the Beatles-esque figures crossing the street.
  • Rooftop Garden: A small residential building has a hidden rooftop garden where a dog is sleeping in a planter.
  • The Last Dog: Often, the final dog for many players is hidden inside the game's own menu/UI. Click on the sun in the top corner of the sky—it will slide away to reveal the 101st dog.

The Three Special Bone Locations

Separate from the 101 dogs, there are three hidden bones. Finding all three and clicking on the special dog that appears unlocks the "Good boy!" achievement. This dog doesn't count towards the 101.

  1. Bone 1 (The Clock Tower): Click the hands on the Big Ben clock face and set them to 1:01. A secret compartment at the base of the tower will open, revealing the first bone.
  2. Bone 2 (The Underground): Find the London Underground station entrance. Click on the sign three times. A train will pull in, and the second bone will be sitting on an empty seat inside. Click to collect it.
  3. Bone 3 (The Fountain): In Trafalgar Square, click on the lions in a specific sequence (left lion, right lion, left lion, right lion). The water in the fountain will drain, revealing the final bone at the bottom.

Once you have all three, a special glowing dog will appear near the park. Click on it to deliver the bones and claim your achievement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Advanced Mode change dog locations? Advanced Mode keeps about 70% of the dogs in their original Normal Mode locations. The remaining 30% are moved to new, often more difficult, hiding spots. It's designed for a fresh challenge after you've completed the game once.

Are any dogs permanently missable? No. All dogs can be found at any time. There are no timed events or points of no return. You can search for as long as you like.

What is the fastest way to get all the achievements? The fastest way is to do one thorough playthrough on Normal Mode to find all 101 dogs, followed by finding the three special bones for the "Good boy!" achievement. All other achievements, like clicking on specific characters or objects, can be earned during this initial sweep.

I'm stuck on my last dog, where should I look? The most commonly missed dogs are: the one hidden in the sun/moon icon in the sky, the one on the moving hand of Big Ben, the one in the reflection of the Gherkin, and the dalmatian on the poster in The Scoop amphitheater. Double-check those four spots first.

A Tail-Wagging Triumph

Finding all 101 dogs (and the three bonus bones) is a deeply satisfying puzzle. It encourages you to appreciate the incredible detail and love poured into every corner of the game's London. The reward isn't just an achievement, but the joy of seeing the whole picture and uncovering every charming secret the artists hid for you. Congratulations on completing your canine collection!
