#dog coded round two

John Reese

He loves to follow orders, and when he doesn't have someone to /give/ him orders, his life falls apart and he contemplates killing himself. Has near-unconditional loyalty to whoever his person is at the time, and is willing to kill almost anyone else for them. He's constantly compared to a guard dog by almost every character. He gives his boss (who is his owner, really) a trained dog to be there to protect him when /he/ can't be. His resting face is reminiscent of a kicked puppy.

Eddie Diaz

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.

Smoker

Katsuya Jonouchi/Joseph “Joey” Wheeler

There's a series-long running gag about him being compared to dogs, but besides that, he's initially angry and aggressive, then comes around thanks to the love and kindness he's shown by what may as well be a real life golden retriever. He becomes a fierce and loyal guardian towards his friends, a menace of teeth and claws to their enemies, and still kind of barks a lot, roughhouses, and launches himself at problems like a disheveled blond missile without a lot of common sense.

Logan Howlett/Wolverine

Hes like one of those dogs that was trained not to growl and so he just snaps when he’s upset. Also hes spent plenty of time on a leash both literally and metaphorically. Hes like a dog at shelter that gets put down for behavior issues. To me.

Agent Stone

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

Clark Kent/Superman

Vash the Stampede

He basically straightup does puppy play. A woman hires him as her bodyguard and he follows her around barking and yipping and shit and if I remember correctly she also calls him Spot and makes him sleep outside. Also later in the anime (this happens in the manga too) he is trying to stop an outlaw from harming his friend and the outlaw guy tells Vash to get naked and act like a dog and Vash immediately does it.

He has very sharp canines

Columbo

Han Solo

You look at Chewie and Han, and you might see a man and his dog. But do not be fooled, Han is the dog in this situation.

Laios Touden

Sandor Clegane/The Hound

Everyone calls him the Hound, it's his family's sigil and he wears a hound-shaped helm. He works as a knight but refuses that title claiming it's better to he a dog than a hypocrite corrupt knight
