* FanNickname: Commenters on GoComics call Fred's owners the "Dears" since that's their usual endearment for each other--and Fred's for them sometimes. Also, around 2019, Fred befriended a cat who pops in from time to time, owner unknown, but very friendly. Some readers called the cat "Purrcy" at first, but when she was confirmed as a female in 2022, that changed to "Purrcia."
* FriendToAllChildren: Fred's a favorite among the neighborhood kids (especially the Tucker Twins--first names not given) and the little girls Amanda and Mia. He's quite fond of all of them and often joins in their football games. He's also very fond of puppies--he visits any new litters or new arrivals in the neighborhood and enjoys playing with them, especially the posh neighbors' two little Pomeranian pups. Fred's parents are also warm and welcoming to the neighborhood children, despite having none of their own except Fred.



* NoNameGiven: Fred's owners are unnamed.

* DogStereotype: Inverted with Fred. He's not the "lazy Basset Hound", the "dumb Basset Hound", or the "affectionate rural Basset Hound". He's decently energetic, is quite sassy and smart, and lives in the suburbs.
