Sprocket Sprocket is an intelligent sheepdog owned by Doc on " Fraggle Rock " . He spends much of his time in Doc ' s Workshop , where his bed and food dish are , observing Doc at work . As a result , he often catches Gobo in the act of retrieving a discarded postcard from Uncle Traveling Matt . Sprocket proves the adage that dog is man ' s best friend . Though he is occasionally perplexed by his owner ' s eccentric behavior and odd inventions , the two are inseparable . Sprocket accompanied Doc when he rented Ma Bear ' s farmhouse in " A Muppet Family Christmas " . Though generally unable to speak words , Sprocket communicates with his owner through a series of lively barks , facial expressions , and particularly pantomime , pointing to objects or using a form of charades ( similar to the earlier Rufus from " Hey Cinderella ! " ) . Doc often relies on Sprocket in performing household labor , including repairs on the water pipes . Sprocket is initially less enamored of Doc ' s neighbor Ned Shimmelfinny , but gradually warms up to him . The same can ' t be said of his relationship with Ned ' s cat , Fluffinella . Though Sprocket teases Doc about Ms . Ardath , the dog himself , who always had a thing for airedales , is not immune to romance , once falling in love with Ms . Ardath ' s dog Marigold . Like a typical dog , Sprocket is suspicious of Gobo , the strange creature who scampers in and out , barking fiercely at him . In other episodes , he attempts to board up or break into the hole in the wall . Sprocket frequently tries to make Doc aware of the Fraggles , but his efforts are generally for naught . As the series progresses , however , after , Sprocket befriends the Fraggles and redoubles his efforts to alert Doc to their presence . Sprocket ventures into Fraggle Rock himself in the episodes " " and " . " Steve Whitmire , Sprocket ' s performer , was assisted by Karen Prell , who performed the dog ' s right hand and wagging tail . Sprocket ' s appearance changed slightly after ( " not " the first episode aired ) - - he was given lighter , bushier eyebrows , a thicker , less scraggly " mustache , " and his eyes ' initially severe downward angle was adjusted . Outside of " Fraggle Rock " , Sprocket was prominently featured in " A Muppet Family Christmas " and appeared as a member of the Organization of Muppet Dogs in of " The Jim Henson Hour " . He was also part of the chorus of dogs singing " I ' m Doggin ' It " with Rowlf in " The Muppets at Walt Disney World " .
