* DysfunctionalFamily: The Binsfords. Ye ''gods''. Skip is both pessimistic "and" [[BumblingDad incompetent]], Bev is a whiny nag, Billy is a [[KidsAreCruel possible lunatic]], and Buffy is a mindless toddler. And all of them treat the dog with [[SarcasmMode respect and love.]]

* ADogNamedDog: The titular canine is never referred to by anything other than "The Dog". Even his Christmas stocking just says "Dog" on it! Though {{WordofGod}} has stated that the dog's name is Jonah, the Binsfords don't call him Jonah likely out of apathy.

* Jerkass: Billy Binsford is clearly the worst of the family. He loves violence and destruction, is mean to his sister Buffy, disrespects his parents, and would go out of his way to do mean things to the dog.

* TheAce: The Binsfords' neighbors, the Mahoneys are a far more perfect family than the Binsfords could ever be. Martin and Trish are in more [[HappilyMarried happily married]] than Skip and Bev, Martin has a better job than Skip, Trish is a better cook than Bev, the Mahoney twins are more well behaved than Billy and Buffy, even their new dog, K-10, a former police dog, is more impressive than the Binsfords' own dog. Which is why the Binsfords resent the Mahoneys.
