How to unlock the Dog Owner achievement in Nuclear Throne - Definitive Guide
This is the boss of 3-3.
Basically just a literal big dog that spins, firing massive waves of slowmoving bullets and missiles at you. If you just want this achievement, I would recommend using Crystal as you can just deflect all the attacks using their shield. Just watch out for the massive explosion that happens when you defeat it.
A fun shortcut can get you there very fast. If you pick up all the chests/radiation canister on the first level before killing anything, it will spawn Big Bandit. Kill him quick and it should instantly spawn a portal that takes you to 1-?, beat that little area and you'll be sent straight to 3-3 where you can fight Big Dog.
(Sometimes the 1-? portal doesn't spawn for whatever reason. Clearing the rest of the floor will still skip you to 2-1 at least, foregoing 1-2 and 1-3)
