WHO’S A GOOD DOGGIE? 🐾

Evan “Buck” Buckley

He's loyal, eager-to-please, and sometimes chaotic. He has a huge heart, deep devotion to his found family (the 118 station), and a tendency to act with impulsive, big-hearted (golden retriever/dog) energy. I also believe he craves praise.

he is called the doggiest dog, compared to a dalmatian, called a golden retriever, howls at the moon, is said to be like a dog who humps your leg, constantly perks his ears up and wags his metaphorical tail, and was left on the side of the road in the rain as someone drove away

Compared to a dog in canon multiple times but even without that: Loyal to a fault. Barely concealed praise kink. Leg humper. Cough. Separation anxiety.

He gets compared to a dog multiple times on the show, including someone saying if he wasn't a firefighter (he's a firefighter) he'd be a golden retriever, being referred as 'the doggiest dogs of them all' and once being compared to a dog humping someone's leg. Also he actually howls and woofs like a wolf while calling someone on the phone once.

Koga Ogami

Several other characters call him nicknames based on dogs, such as Puppy and Corgi. When the characters are represented by symbols in something, he's represented by a wolf. Also look up "enstars koga ball" just trust me

Propaganda:

Javert

"Give a human face to this dog son of a wolf, and it will be Javert."

that guy has reached a critical mass of dog comparisons per sentence

Literally a dog. He's Valjean's dog so that's also gay and we love that. Direct quotes from the book: "Javert, serious, was a watchdog." "When he had so unexpectedly encountered Jean Valjean on the banks of the Seine, there had been in him something of the wolf which regains his grip on his prey, and of the dog who finds his master again." "...to be the watch-dog, and to lick the intruder’s hand!"

His entire storyline is that he is the law's faithful hunting dog. His storyline revolves around chasing and hunting down this one man. And when he finally comes face to face with him he forsakes his original master and is torn apart by his loyalty and his sense of justice

Many, many people in the books call him a dog, specifically Vetinari (the Patrician)’s dog.

Agent Stone (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Voting ended onMar 18

Propaganda:

Zack Fair

His nickname is literally puppy.

Agent Stone

Loyally waits for his boss/master to come back, begs to come with him on battles for taking over the planet, becomes upset when he ignores him in favor of someone else, general instinct for protection. I’m sure someone else will have more comprehensive propaganda than this.

he is like a stray dog carrying his pup around in his mouth going up to doors looking for attention. but when he gets let inside he doesn't think he deserves it so he slinks away and has big sad puppy dog eyes.

Kurogane (Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles)

Chuuya Nakahara (Bungo Stray Dogs)

Voting ended onMar 19

Propaganda:

Kurogane

one of his (many) nicknames is literally Big Dog and I'm pretty sure Kuro-wan and/or Kuro-woof are also used at some points tho that could be me misremembering from fics. he's unflinchingly loyal. he Will growl if he feels like it. he is an attack dog AND a herding dog. he Will sniff out your bullshit. there is official art of him with dog ears. let him retire to sleep on his back by the fireplace while his cat husband pets his hair

Chuuya Nakahara

He's called "a loyal man who always gets left behind", he wears a collar, he loves dogs and wants to adopt a bunch of puppies, he's very small but very loud and aggressive just like a chihuahua. Ok but seriously he's such a dog guy. He gets a book about raising puppies and cries while reading it because it's so cute.

Eliot Spencer (Leverage)

Jamie Tartt (Ted Lasso)

Voting ended onMar 17

Propaganda:

Eliot Spencer

literally the definition of a guard dog. always shows up to protect his people, never lets them go into danger without backup if he can help it. loyal to a fault (it has been used against him in the past). team leader asks if he's going to take care of his partners and he says "til my dying day" 🖤

Jamie Tartt

Listen I’ve only seen like two episodes of Ted Lasso when I was visiting my family but in one of those episodes, Jamie’s girlfriend said “down, boy! find the treat!” in a way that clearly meant “eat me out” and I was like puppy play? In MY soccer comedy? So he is dog-coded to me because of that.

he literally gets leashed to a bike and has to pull Roy (his coach/ dom/ idol) around on it. He and his ex girlfriend turned bestie/ other dom canonically partook in puppy play. Hes the human equivalent of a sweet puppy who got kicked too many times and turned mean and needed love and training to let himself be sweet again.
