Paul Milton

Paul David Milton is Dodger's old owner. He appears in the Oliver and Company:The Series episode Dodger Come Home which aired on September 24, 1999 and in which he is voiced by actor and comedian Jim Belushi.
== Biography ==
Paul was born in New York City, presumably in the 1950s, to parents Tom and Carol Milton. At some point in his teens he met his future wife, Sandra. Upon graduating from college, they married and went on to have two children: Chris and Sarah. They gained two pet dogs, Charlie and Tess. Tess fell pregnant and gave birth to a litter of pups, one of whom would later run away and be found by a petty thief called Fagin. Dodger's loss hit the family hard, no more so than his parents. After Dodger's siblings found new owners, Sandra left Paul and moved to San Francisco, taking her children and dogs with her, while Paul stayed in New York and moved back into his parents' house. Years later, possibly between Charlie and Tess going to find their son and Sarah and Chris going to college, Sandra moved back to New York and, by chance, ran into Paul. They later renewed their vows and remarried, after reconciling.
== Appearance and personality ==
Paul is a middle aged man with sandy blond hair and a slight beard. He wears a blue checked T-shirt, beige pants, red tie and brown shoes. Paul is a kind, patriarchal and well meaning individual.

Dodger Come Home
Dodger and his father Charlie are out with Fagin, when, by chance, they run into Sandra and Paul. After Fagin apologizes to the couple, Sandra tells him that she and Paul used to own Dodger and Charlie. After telling his friends about this, they are surprised, no more so than Tess, who hasn't heard from Sandra and Paul since they left San Francisco.
A few days later, Paul and Sandra arrive at Fagin's barge. Paul offers to take Dodger to their new apartment in Brooklyn. Fagin, who is at first reluctant, agrees to give Dodger back to his old owners. Dodger bids his friends and family farewell.
Dodger moves into Sandra and Paul's new apartment with them. They ecounter Fagin and the others on a number of occasions and it soon becomes obvious to the couple Dodger  misses his friends. At the end of the episode, Paul and Sandra return Dodger to Fagin and the couple bid farewell to him and leave. After they're gone, Dodger says, "Who knows? I might run into them sometime."
