Vander's nickname "Hound of the Underground" fits him in more ways than just the Warwick tease.

Dogs have comparatively weak eyesight and rely much more on their ears and noses for information. Vander largely keeps tabs on the Undercity through what he hears from people who are out and about (since he seems to spend most of his time at or near The Last Drop) and through his instinct for things that "smell" off or don't seem right. He can be observant at times, but there are several giant issues in front of his face that he totally misses.

While he knew the Lanes were restless, he didn't seem to realize his authority had eroded to the degree it had by the time Sevika and her allies defected to Silco. It's also debatable whether he sees the true extent of how deeply disturbed Powder is, since they barely interact on screen.

Vander doesn't really have an equal in the Lanes. Benzo is the closest thing he has to a sidekick, but he's not at Vander's stature. Even Grayson, who spends most of her time topside, knows this. Madam Babette seems like she knows what's going on around town, but doesn't appear to have much influence outside of her brothel, especially after Silco's takeover. Set aside the whole debate over whether or not dogs really have pack alphas for a second. To the extent that they do, Vander is clearly it. We don't see him hold that position for long before Silco challenges him for it. (You could interpret their initial falling out this way too: a struggle to see who would come out on top leading the pack in the direction *he* preferred.)

Last, of course, dogs are famously loyal. Vander feels protective of the whole Undercity and won't sell out any of them to the Enforcers, even if he knows privately that that person did wrong. He even offers himself as a scapegoat in an attempt to keep the peace when he realizes Vi was planning to do so.

His loyalty was reflected throughout the Undercity, as you see random people on the street covering for each other in front of the Enforcers with equal tenacity. The later culture of chronic betrayal didn't fully emerge until the era of Silco, the backstabber-in-chief.

Needed to get that little brain worm out.

Useless Things I Know About Scooby-Doo: The Original Series That Are Actually Canon:

1. Shaggy Rogers is a vegetarian

2: Shaggy was called “Buzz” until his 10th birthday

3: Shaggy has a collection of 653 decorator belt buckles and he wears a different buckle every episode, you just can’t see it

4: Shaggy started collecting belt buckles to combat his Scooby-Snack addiction related weight problems

5: Shaggy’s actual name is Norville

6: Shaggy found the Mystery Machine

7: Shaggy is a talented gymnast

8: Daphne wanted to be a supermodel or detective when she grew up

9: Daphne gets straight A’s in school

10: Daphne regularly loses dates because she leaves them to solve mysteries

11: Daphne’s Dad, George Blake, gave the gang a 100 dollar check to get started 

12: Velma came up with the phrase “Jinkes” on the fly

13: Velma used to say “oh my” before she said Jinkes

14: Velma’s has hundreds of awards for outstanding achievements in school

15: Fred is a bass and sings from the opera Showboat when the team gets scared

16: Fred’s nickname is “Pickles” according to his school yearbook

17: Fred traveled with a performance crew as an actor before deciding to be a detective

18: Fred wants to be a mystery writer

19: Scooby’s full name is Scoobert Doo

20: Scooby Doo has a limited number of phrases he can say and has to act out anything that can’t be explained simply

21: The gang thought Scooby’s speaking was strange at first, but decided it “really wasn’t a big deal”

22: Before they had the Mystery Machine the gang used to pay their parents gas money to drive them around

BONUS: The series was supposed to be about a band who went around solving mysteries, but that completely changed when Scooby-Doo got added to the cast and became the title character

[jas720]

So a group of people united by their love of solving mysteries just shrug at a talking dog

[jelloapocalypse]

I’d like to add:

23: Shaggy is a skilled ventriloquist and can throw his voice.
