Zeus and Apollo

Zeus and Apollo are a pair of dogs who appear in the fanfic Dodger and Company, Part One: Origins. They are voiced respectively by Maurice LaMarche and Cam Clarke.
==Biography==
Little is known about their early lives, however Zeus appeared to be something of a father figure to Apollo and later on they took Dodger, at that time a young pup, under their wing. He later went on to join Fagin's gang The Company. At some point, Zeus died after being run over by a truck and Apollo was killed in the dogfighting ring; prior to that, he fathered two children called Achilles and Artemis, who Dodger would later meet and who would later become leaders of their father's former gang The Greeks.
==Appearance==
Zeus is a Saint Bernard with brown eyes. He sports a collar with a name tag shaped like a thunderbolt. Apollo is a golden lab with blue eyes and sporting a collar with a name tag resembling the sun.
==Personality==
Zeus is a gentle giant and a powerful, benevolent individual. He is selfless to the point where he would risk his own safety for the good of others. Apollo also has similar traits and is something of a joker.
==Appearances==
===Dodger and Company, Part One: Origins===
Apollo and Zeus appear in a flashback of Dodger's, when he recounts them having taken him under his wing when he was a pup and even offered a place in The Greeks, but the later backed out and went on to join Fagin's gang; Dodger then mentions having seen the two sporadically until their respective deaths.
===Dodger and Company, Part Two: Danger Zone===
While neither Zeus or Apollo appear-because both of them have passed away-they are mentioned at various points, notably by Greek member Hercules who sacrifices himself while fighting Nero and Caesar, the sons of Roscoe and DeSoto.
==Trivia==
*Like the other members of the Greeks, Zeus and Apollo are named after figures from classical mythology and history; the former being named after the king of the Olympian gods and the latter being named after the god of the sun and music. 
*Another reference to their namesakes are the icons on their collars-the thunderbolt and the sun-and the fact they have a father-son relationship.
*When Artemis asks Dodger if he knew Apollo, he responds, "Do you think I'm an oracle?" This could be a reference to the oracle at Delphi, a priestess in classical antiquity who resided at the temple of Apollo and could allegedly speak to the gods.
