It can be tricky to rescue or pet John Wick's dog in Fortnite because he can only be found in a couple of locations. If you don't know where to go then you're unlikely to stumble upon him by accident. However, if you're a Battle Pass owner then this canine companion is definitely worth tracking down, as setting him free will also add Dog (Pen & Ink) as a sidekick you can bring into matches. To find out more, here's where to find John Wick's dog and rescue him.

Fortnite John Wick's dog locations
There are two possible locations for John Wick's dog in Fortnite, and I've marked both on the map above. This spawn will be random in each match, and will either appear in the hotel lobby on the south side of Sinister Strip or in the sewers in the northeast of The Battlewoods. You'll know you're in the right place if you can hear the dog barking when you get close – if you don't find anything there, you'll need to head to the other location instead.
How to rescue or pet John Wick's dog
When you find John Wick's dog in Fortnite, he'll initially be locked in a cage guarded by a couple of NPC enemies who will attack when you get close. Eliminate them and a second wave of goons will spawn, so take them out as well. Once the threat is dealt with, interact with the cage to free the dog and then pet him to receive a selection of powerful weapons and items.
If another player has already completed the rescue, you can still come in afterwards and pet the dog to collect the weapons and items. The first time you rescue or pet John Wick's dog you'll also complete the quest and unlock him as a sidekick in your locker for use in future matches.
