Pudge
Pudge is an American bulldog with a lot of personality. Like most American bulldogs, he has a rather square head with ears that seem somewhat on the small side for such a massive cranium. His ears are indicative of his mood.
Pudge has an impressive vocabulary for a dog, though clearly he gets frustrated when his family does not understand him. His “give me food right now and no one gets hurt” bark, however, is unmistakable. Occasionally he displays an understanding on par with at least the average high school senior, especially if the language in question involves eating poultry or going for a walk.
Pudge does not like to deviate from his routine. As soon as anyone gets up, he gets up, too, and utters his feed-me bark. Once he eats, he has to go outside and patrol the backyard.
