Beethoven (Beethoven Film Series)

Beethoven is the main titular character of the film series and the protagonist of the animated series. He is a St Bernard dog named after the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven. He weighs approximately 185 pounds. In the credits for the first film, he is credited as being played by a dog named Chris. However, in the second film's credits, he is played by the real Beethoven. As of Beethoven’s 2nd, Beethoven has a girlfriend called Missy and is the father to four puppies named Chubby, Dolly, Tchaikovsky, and Mohawk (known simply as "Mo Lover" in the film). In the animated series, Beethoven and other animals speak.
==Personality==
Beethoven is a very loyal dog. He is very protective of the Newton family. However, he can be playfully destructive and mischievous towards them as well (to the dismay of the father, George). 
==Role in the film==
The film focuses on Beethoven's adoption by the Newton family: curmudgeon father George, earnest wife Alice, cool big sis Ryce, geeky son Ted, and Cheerful Child Emily. Unbeknownst to them, however, Beethoven is an escaped would-be test animal for a lab run by Dr. Herman Varnick, a veterinarian who steals his customers' dogs for use in unethical experiments.
