The R-1/A Flying Dog (フライングドッグ[1],Furaingu Doggu?, lit. "Flying Dog") is a boss that appears in the level Security Hall from Sonic Adventure 2. It is a G.U.N. robot controlled by a soldier.
The Flying Dog can fly smoothly in the air and at speeds surpassing those of both the B-3x Hot Shot and F-6t Big Foot. It can also fire a homing laser or attack with machine guns like its other variants, but at a faster rate.

The battle against Flying Dog takes place on a rectangular arena with a few cluster of Rings and Wooden Containers and two small fences on opposite sides along the arena's length.
Flying Dog will primarily use these attacks:
It will fly off the arena, then fly back while firing a machine gun. Its gun attack will also destroy any Wooden Containers in its path
It will hover still but will constantly target Rouge for a while before firing a laser blast at her. Once Flying Dog's remaining health in its Health Gauge is low enough, it will perform this twice in succession.
To defeat Flying Dog, Rouge must use either of the two fences around her by climbing up them, then jump off them, fly into the mech and hit its cockpit by using either the Screw Kick or by just gliding. Alternatively, Rouge can also jump on top of a Wooden Container, then jump off of it then glide into Flying Dog's cockpit. After hitting Flying Dog five times, it will be defeated.
In the anime series Sonic X, the Flying Dog appeared during the Sonic Adventure 2 adaptation saga. In this media, they were constructed after the Perfect Chaos incident to combat Dr. Eggman's forces.
