7 Fictional Dogs I want to own

3.) Dug (Up)

 

How many times have you wished you could understand your dog and talk to them? If internet memes are to believed there is a significant portion of the population that would stay home and only ever interact with them. Although I don’t know if Dug would be the greatest conversationalist. He’s also been made smarter to function as a servant dog which is nice. Other than that, he’s one of the most realistic dog characters ever. I’m aware even with a translator a dog wouldn’t be able to think in these terms. Still I feel this is the closest to what a dog WOULD think like. A close runner up and other good other example would be the dog from that “Dexter’s Laboratory” episode. Also a golden labrador retriever, but also so perfectly dog-like once given the power of speech.

2.) Sparky (Frankenweenie)

This is for both versions, but more so the recent remake. I’ve never seen an animated animal who felt so real in a movie. Say what you will about the film overall, but there’s no denying how much they capture that feeling of love you have for a family dog. Even after he’s a reanimated corpse he doesn’t lose any cute points even though he may be loosing body parts like a tail or something. But worry not this isn’t like Jeff Goldblum in “The Fly.” If that happens, you just have to stitch it back on and boom… simple fix. Really a low maintenance dog if you don’t mind having to charge him up over and over. We do it for our phones so why not a dog?

1.) Gromit (Wallace and Gromit)

If there was one dog I could own, this would be it. Gromit is completely loyal to his owner Wallace even when he clearly isn’t into the idea. Whether it’s window washing, mechanical trousers, flying to the moon to obtain some cheese, etc. It’s even like having a butler what with all the household chores he regularly does. Also much like Courage he’ll always be there to save you from were-rabbits, criminal Penguin geniuses or evil cyber dogs. I also think it’s great that he has his own hobbies like needlepoint because everyone needs their own “me” activity. Seriously the more I think I think about it the more I can’t think of any faults with this dog, give him another treat just for being a good boy. Plus he doesn’t bark which I think all of even the biggest dog lovers can agree that’s one of their few flaws. But still we hear nothing from Gromit. It’s almost like he doesn’t even have a mouth. Despite that you NEVER have any doubt what he’s thinking or feeling and that’s even more impressive when you consider all he has to convey all of that it basically just an upper brow. Now if you’ll excuse me, I feel hungry for some cheese and crackers for some reason.

What do you think? What fictional dogs do you think are the best?
