WWlll Miniatures

A surviver inspired by a comic.

The dog will also be made, but it’s more like 2030 setting then 2K.

If you can get the English language edition of that comic, it's rather good (I believe it was originally published in French).
I don't know how many volumes have been published and I don't even know if the translations are officially authorised but for anyone interested, the series is called Cold Sun, published by Delacourt and the translation was done by the "interestingly" named PhillyWilly
I've only seen three volumes in English but it seems it takes some time to get them written (volume three dates from 2019)

Very definitely a later 2000s timeline, the main character has a robotic "mule" and a micro-UAV along with what is basically a smartlink to his rifle so that it can be controlled remotely when set up on a tripod. The first volume deals with birds spreading some sort of avian flu and the backstory of how the world came to be devastated by the pandemic and the human fear it caused.

The Dog reminds me of the Boston Dynamics robot 'dog'.

Very similar in style but much larger so that it's probably closer to Boston Dynamic's BigDog robot.
In the comic, it's basically a mule for carrying gear but also a helper in that it has a sensor suite to detect other lifeforms (animal as well as human), determine threat levels, conduct observation/early warning, assist in combat (such as launching smoke grenades) and also offers basic knowledge like you'd find in an encyclopedia.

The character in the comic has named it Marguerite.
