* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: He's a ''live-action'' talking dog wearing a bandana and a studded leather cuff.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Comes from being turned into a dog.
* BookDumb: He's not the smartest dog in the pound, fitting with his nature as a stereotypical 90's bully.
* TheBully: Which ended up biting him in the ass ''big time'' and causing the events of the show.
* CosmicPlaything: he certainly thinks so, and he may have a point...
* TheFaceless: Before becoming a dog.
* ForcedTransformation: Turned into a dog against his will by the Drifter.
* IconicItem: His black bandana and studded wristband, which he retained as a dog.
* IcyBlueEyes: His dog self is half husky, with the eyes to match.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Grows into one over the run of the series. He definitely was a worse person before becoming a dog.
* LackOfEmpathy: Originally one of his worst faults.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: His dog self looks absolutely adorable; just look at his portrait above!
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: [[DownPlayedTrope Downplayed]]; Eddie being a jerk is the reason why he was turned into a dog to begin with, and he gradually becomes a better person over the course of the series.

* BadassAdorable: Kid can be pretty tough when the occasion calls for it.

* SarcasticDevotee: He helps Eddie out, but now that the latter is a dog who can't bully him any longer, Justin isn't afraid to be snarky towards him.

* TwoFirstNames: "Justin" and "Taylor".
%%* VitriolicBestBuds: With Eddie.

!!The Drifter
-> '''Played By:''' Creator/RichardMoll

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Although it's not like he actually introduced himself at any point.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Not the most pleasant fellow, but his decision to turn Eddie into a dog was partially motivated by a genuine desire to make him a better person.
%%* LiteralGenie
* NoNameGiven: He's only known as "the Drifter".
* RealityWarper: Again, the guy can casually ''turn people into dogs'' and has been shown to possess some shapeshifting powers of his own.
* TricksterMentor: He will sometimes provide advice and guidance to Eddie.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Forcefully turning Eddie into a dog against his will with no way to become human again unless he performs 100 good deeds ''maybe'' was [[UnderStatement a little harsh]].
