Bernie

Bernie is a male Rhodesian Ridgeback that, apparently, is part of Shep's pack. He may be a young dog or a pup, but this information is not revealed in the books. As bronze is the most common color in Rhodesian Ridegebacks, Bernie could be a bronze colored one. He is a bronze-colored male with an stripe running by his back. Has a narrow snout and small black nose and dark eyes.

He is seen training with Jazz some defense movesSee Jazz article.. He complains to the female Border Collie that she is touching his paws. Shep replies that Bernie shouldn't be on the defense team if no dog can touch his paws. Jazz agrees.
