==Appearances==
===War===
Leland Dodd made his only appearance in "Winter of Discontent" on the first day of the War: January 1, 708. On that date, his once-friend Chancellor Unella Holstein delivered a declaration of war to his office. He in turn handed her one from Canis. Leland packed his belongings to temporarily return to Canis, but this was later made permanent. Leland Dodd never returned to Vulpus, and thus was the last Ambassador from the Kingdom of Canis to the Kingdom of Vulpus. 
==Character==
===Namesake===
Leland Dodd's name is a portmanteau of Leland Morris and William Dodd. Leland Morris and William Dodd were American ambassadors to Nazi Germany before World War II. It was Leland Morris who handed the United States Declaration of War to the German Chancellor in 1941. 
==Trivia==
*Leland's scene in "Winter of Discontent" was the last to be added, nearly seven months after the first draft of the premiere was finished. The scene was crafted to illustrate the immediate and sudden breakdown of relations between Vulpus and Canis.
