[[folder: Jacko]]
First entering the story as part of a story Randal told Pixie, this dog looked like a "giant mutant vampire rat" to her, but turned out to be a friendly, shy stray with a bad case of mange. After being treated, he was adopted into Pixie and Brutus' household, just in time for the holidays.
----
* FaceOfAThug: Initially. When he was first introduced, he had no fur, a protruding spine, and GlowingEyesOfDoom. However, in regular light as opposed to the junkyard's shadows, he doesn't have the latter and after receiving treatment, he looks like a normal dog less scary than Brutus.
* FromStrayToPet: He's first introduced scavenging food from a junkyard while suffering badly from mange but is adopted by Brutus and Pixie's owner.
* PetsAsAPresent: A rare animal-to-animal example; when Pixie and Brutus' owner introduces them to the new pet, he says he got them an early Christmas present. Brutus' nose gives away the secret; Pixie is just distracted by whether it's "allowed" to have a Christmas present before Christmas.

He's only rude to Brutus and even that only because Brutus picked a fight with him first and has stayed needlessly condescending toward him in every conversation they've had since.
