Character Profiles

Animals

Full name: Dudley "Puppy" Hobo Jr.
Breed: Beagle

Son of Dudley "Dumb" Hobo Sr., Puppy Hobo is an up-and-coming guard dog with a side talent for music. Married to Bowser Woswer, with whom he has a daughter. Puppy Bowser. He talks with a lisp, which he has had since he was a little dog and where his nickname "Puppy" comes from. A real nice guy, with nerves of steel and a cool singing voice.

Full name: Bowser Wowser
Breed: (Miniature) St. Bernard

Wife of Puppy Hobo and mother to Puppy Bowser. Decorated Alpine Rescue Corps member. Was also once voted "World's Cutest Dog". Sweet, motherly, but also sharp as tacks. Does not tolerate threats idly, so do not get in her way.

Hopady
(Pronounced Hop-A-DEE)
Breed: Brown Lop-eared Rabbit

She lives a very Bugs Bunny-esque life. Is driven from her former home in the woods to a new one next to Tony and Lee and their dogs due to a crazy, drunken hunter who does not obey the "no hunting" signs but is also a very lousy shot. Fortunately enough. Hopady loves to garden everywhere she lives and is a strict vegetarian.

Full Name: Dudley "Dumb" Hobo Sr.
Breed: Beagle

Father of Dudley "Puppy" Hobo Jr, they look alike enough to cause occasional confusion. The best way to tell them apart is because PH wears a blue collar, while DH wears a red one. Unlike his son, Dumb Hobo's IQ level is very low. Hence he has problems such as taking things like "You're fired!" too literally (he thinks somebody is going to shoot him out of a cannon) , has no idea that a red light means "stop" and a green light means "go" (he thinks the opposite is true), and scares very easily. He also is very accident-prone. Always coming out of his scrapes somewhat dazed, but unhurt. On the other hand, he is a really great guy who is easy to get along with. And is a devoted father. Dumb Hobo's wife teaches at Harvard. She is one of the smartest dogs in the country, but drops by to visit her husband and son whenever she can.

Works a crummy nine-to-five job which he hates but does not have the guts to quit and find a job he likes for fear of not making as much money. Takes his frustrations out on dogs, whom he is allergic to but will not admit it for fear of looking like a wimp. He Seldom shaves properly, is a poor dresser, and drinks wayyyy too much coffee, which has permantely stained his steeth. All in all, the neighbor you hope to never meet. On inevitable collision course with Hobo and Bowser. He had better be prepared to get used to their presence ... or else.
