**Harold** is one of the main characters of *Bunnicula*.

## History

Harold's history is mostly unknown, but it is known that Mina got him as a puppy during the last time she saw her old imaginary friend, Hamburger Cheese.

## Appearance

Harold appears to be a short-haired, brown mutt or some breed of Herding Dog and has a blue collar, a big nose, small floppy ears, short tail, a mop of messy dark brown hair on top of his head, and a large round belly

## Personality

Harold is a typical loyal dog and loves his brothers, Chester and Bunnicula, and their owner, Mina, but isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and is very ignorant when it comes to Chester being in danger. However, Harold can be smart when the plot calls for it and is quite insightful when there is something suspicious going on. He also loves having fun with Bunnicula and goes along with his mischief.

## Relationships

### Mina Monroe

Harold is deeply devoted and loyal to Mina. He will always protect her when she is in danger and loves cuddling up with her when they go to bed.

During *Legend of the Lucky Locket*, Harold was excited to see in the future that he and Mina will be able to communicate and work together in being a team.

### Arthur Monroe

Harold gets along with Arthur.

Arthur tends to see Harold as his favorite pet, for while he may inflict strict punishment on anyone else in the family-- if his oblivious mind ever notices a reason to punish-- Harold is easily forgiven with treats and belly rubs. To that end, Harold is extremely happy to be man's best friend, but is seemingly oblivious to what the meaning of the word "punishment" really is.

### Chester

Harold frequently annoys Chester with his stupidity and the fact that he and Bunnicula are best friends. However, the two do have a brotherly relationship and always look out for each other when they're in danger. Harold will sometimes call him "Chesty".

### Bunnicula

Out of all of his brothers, Harold gets along with Bunnicula the most. Harold will sometimes call him "Bunn". Since Bunnicula can't properly communicate, Harold usually has to translate for him, showing the closeness between them. Despite that, Harold has irritated Bunnicula on a occasion.

Unlike Chester, Harold lives for Bunnicula's supernatural adventures and mischief, because they always lead to something exciting.

### Fluffy

Harold fell head over heels for Fluffy, not knowing that she was trying to kill Bunnicula. Luckily, Harold's kindness and Bunnicula's bravery helped Fluffy realize that not all vampires are bad.

## Trivia

* In the books, Harold was a ponderous, thoughtful character, forced to put up with the eccentricities of Chester and the new rabbit. His appearance in the book is also remarkably different, resembling an Old English Sheepdog, though he claims to have Russian Wolf Hound in him as well.
* Sometimes, Harold eats things that are actually poison for dogs such as chocolate, pickles, and cheese. Usually in the books, he would question this whenever Toby tried to give him these things.
* In Lafitte's Lucky Locket, he is reincarnation of Pirate Harold.
* Harold was shown being given as a present to Mina on her 5th Birthday when he was a puppy. Since Mina turns 13 during the course of the show, that would mean Harold is about eight years old.
* Like Chester, Harold doesn't appears for four episodes.
