UpEdit

Dug is a husky Golden Retriever who belongs to Charles Muntz.

He is every ounce a puppy, and quickly becomes attached to Carl, who is at first hesitant to accept Dug. When he does, Dug expresses his joy in a manner that leaves no doubt that he prefers his new master.

Dug has a special collar that translates his thoughts to speech, made for him by Muntz.

During the end credits of the film, it is revealed that Dug had mated with another Golden Retriever (with similarities to him), and they had many puppies.

Dug's Special MissionEdit

Dug appears in his very own short as the main character.

George & A.J.Edit

Dug appears in this animated short as a minor character where he appears at the end and scares George and A.J.

PersonalityEdit

Dug is a playful and friendly dog who is always kind. He likes almost everybody he comes across. He is also very good at following rules and can be somewhat of an airhead at times.
