Like they say, a dog is a man's best friend. In FF8, it looks like Rinoa's best friend is her dog, Angelo. Find out about her dog Angelo and learn the limit breaks.

Angelo:

Angelo is Rinoa's companion in battle. Wherever she goes, you'll always find the dog right behind her. In the game, Rinoa's limit break is combine, which is where Angelo comes to picture. At a situation where Rinoa has a limit break, she calls Angelo and he will come to aid the party with whichever trick he does. For Angelo to do certain tricks, they have to be learned, like with any ordinary dog. For him to learn these tricks, Rinoa buys Pet Pals Magazines. By reading these magazines, Angelo can learn a new trick by selecting it in his status screen located with Rinoa's. It is slowly learned as Rinoa walks around and when it is complete, Angelo learns a new trick!

Angelo's Tricks:

Angelo Rush: This trick is one of the tricks that Angelo knows in the beginning of the game where a magazine is not needed for him to learn it. It is a random counterattack when Rinoa is hit.

Angelo Cannon: Another trick without the need of a magazine. In this attack, Rinoa calls on Angelo. He rushes forward, jumps on her weapon and she fires, inflicting damage on all enemies.

Angelo Strike: One of the first tricks learned by Angelo when Rinoa retrieves the first Pet Pal magazine. Rinoa calls on Angelo and he rushes to the enemy. He pulls the enemy into a somersault in the air and smashes him on the ground.

Angelo Recover: Learned in the 2nd Pet Pals magazine. A random action where Angelo comes and heals one of the members of your party who is suffering with the bout of low HP.

Invincible Moon: Learned in 3rd Pet Pals magazine. Rinoa calls on Angelo and throws a bone in the air. Angelo jumps into the air in the center of an image of the moon and makes all the party members invincible for a period of time. He jumps back down and Rinoa puts the bone in his nose and he eats it.

Angelo Reverse: Learned in 4th Pet Pals. It is a random action where Angelo rushes in to revive one of the knocked out party members.

Angelo Search: Learned in Pet Pals 5. A random move where Angelo comes in an picks up an item that the enemy dropped.

Wishing Star: Learned in Pet Pals 6. Rinoa calls on Angelo and he comes running up and she jumps on him and they go to the starry sky where they hit the enemy like multiple shooting stars.

Angel Wing:

Angel Wing: Angel Wing is Rinoa's second limit break that she acquires in the middle of the game after aquiring her sorceress powers. In this limit break, wings appear on her back and she is lifted into the air and lands. By using this attack, you lose control of Rinoa for the remainder of the battle. She uses random magic spells and they are more powerful. She does not do physical attacks yet she does not also do magic spells that cure the group. With this limit break, she does not use the supply of stocked magic.
