Easy one in the 'Riley Riddle' tradition:
My prefix is unused.
My suffix is a forest removed.
My infix is a reunited analogue.
I am all alone but for a dog.

2$\begingroup$ Just to make sure, analogue, not analog, right? $\endgroup$– SensorayCommented Mar 31, 2018 at 2:27

1$\begingroup$ @PaigeMeinke, I waffled on which form to use but went with ue because I felt analog might be misleading to technical people. I personally use them in different ways, but technically they're supposed to be interchangeable. Good question. english.stackexchange.com/a/206959/185028 $\endgroup$– JohnCommented Mar 31, 2018 at 4:30

He is in
New-found-land
My prefix is unused.
Unused is new.
My suffix is a forest removed.
A forest removed is just land.
My infix is a reunited analogue.
An analogue of being reunited is found.
I am all alone but for a dog.
Newfoundland is all alone because it is an island, but does have its Labrador for company!

$\begingroup$ That's weird. I don't think I'm there but I guess I must be given how well it fits with the riddle! :) $\endgroup$– RileyCommented Mar 31, 2018 at 3:56

$\begingroup$ @Riley, hahaha. I hope you've been enjoying these. I enjoy this riddle type. When I'm reading now I tend to look more closely at word constructions because of them. Maybe now you'll have to visit Newfoundland and tell us how it is! $\endgroup$– JohnCommented Mar 31, 2018 at 4:15

I guess Riley has been to...
Newark, or Newark-on-Trent, England.
My prefix is unused.
We called an unused thing as "a new thing".
My suffix is a forest removed.
The flood is coming, cut down all the woods to make an ark!
My infix is a reunited analogue.
Unite all the manpower to engage a war.
I am all alone but for a dog.
Well, there is one new built ark, so it is alone.
However, there is a place that held a dog show not far from the downtown area.

$\begingroup$ Omg @Riley I am only to make opening being consistent with the title, hope you don't mind that :) $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 31, 2018 at 3:16

$\begingroup$ I wished I could have said new was correct, but it feels like I'm giving too much of the puzzle away. Good answer. $\endgroup$– JohnCommented Mar 31, 2018 at 4:26
