The Black Dog is one of the nine items that can be purchased from the Item Shop in the Game Boy Advance game Wario Land 4. The Black Dog, like all the other items, can be purchased from the shop keeper Mr. Game & Watch, to help Wario defeat a challenging boss by doing pre-damage at the battles start. It is one of the stronger items in the game, and it costs ten Frog Medals to purchase. Depending on the game mode, it may cost more.
