Yup, I had him but be careful you don't let him die. That happened to me and I couldn't get any other followers to come because I already had a follower, albeit a dead dog who's body disappeared. Had to restart my game.
Damn. I told him to wait at the entrance of some cave but when I came back he had gone. I don't usually have a companion so shouldn't be a problem. It was pretty funny having a dog follow me about though.
