If you want to be successful in your mischief, send Dogmeat a few steps farther away from you.However, before it does, you pick it first! This needs extreme time coordination, as you have to pick the book up the split second Dogmeat aims to take it. Order Dogmeat to pick the book back up.
You will find the You’re Special Book that grants you a +1 increase in any stat. Go to Shawn’s room and look underneath the changing table near Shawn’s bed. One of the first things to do in the game is to go home in Sanctuary with Dogmeat as your companion.
