John Doggett

John Doggett is a main character on the FOX television show The X-Files. His partners are Dana Scully (season 8) and Monica Reyes (season 9). The character was introduced after David Duchovny left the show. 
==Short Canon Description==
"Agent John Doggett joined the FBI from the New York City Police Department, where he served as a Detective in the Fugitive Division's Warrant section. Approaching all of his investigations like a doubting cop, he believes that everything can be explained with standard police techniques. So it is no surprise that after only five years at the Bureau, he is assigned by Deputy Director Kersh to run the task force looking for Mulder. Although he may be set up to fail, Doggett has resigned himself to solve the case.
Masters and doctoral degrees in Public Administration from Syracuse University prove Doggett's willingness to conform to the government's blueprint. He is the consummate insider on the fast track to success. Previous to his police work, Doggett held the rank of Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps' Amphibious Unit and played a role in the Multi-National Peacekeeping Force for Lebanon Development. With six years in the military, he retired with commendations after being wounded in the line of duty." biography From The (Former) Official "The X-Files" Website

===An Anti-Dogget Poem===
Laurie Haynes, a BNF fan who despised this character wrote a poem in June 2001, shortly before she stepped down as one of the creators from the X-Files Virtual Season. It represents the tenor and intensity of her stance, made worse by her fannish influence: 
:Mulder's the stud, Doggie's the dud.
:Mulder's a fox, Doggett's a dog.
:"You can lead a horse to dogcrap, but 
:you can't make him eat it." VS9 premieres two weeks from Friday
