Introduction to Guard Dogs
Patrolling WLF soldiers are accompanied by enemy dogs in the Hillcrest section. These guard dogs can track Ellie's scent, throw bottles as a distraction, and don't stay in the same place for too long to stay undetected.
Snipe the Dog Owner First
Silently snipe the dog's owner with a Bow or Silencer. The dog will stay in place for a short period, making them an easier target. For efficient takedowns, always eliminate the person with the dog first.

Make Use of the Bow
Make use of your new weapon in Hillcrest. There are instances when you have to fight multiple enemies, so eliminate them silently from a distance using the Bow. Gain advantage of the area, hide in the grass, and wait for the opportunity to snipe.
