**Bite** is a secondary character in the series *Pup Academy*, as well as a student attending the school of the same name. Though, unlike any pupil currently in the academy, has been held back from graduating due to his bad attitude and shoddy schoolwork.

## Biography

### Background

Bite had first attended the academy four "dog years" before the series takes place. Since then he desired to cause trouble, and intimidate other students. Bite had been the undefeated champion for the Growlers since he joined the school. It is unknown weather or not he was infamous for biting others at the academy, though he says he'd gotten his name from something such as that in the first episode, but Bite often pranked substitute or new teachers, awarding himself the title of "Prankmaster General" in the process, as he states in The Substitute. During these years he met Rotty, and the two had been companions since.

### History

#### The Stray's First Day

As the "Dos Amigos" are pleased to have seats in the front row during assembly, Bite quickly exclaims that they have been sitting in his seat. Bite becomes even more displeased when three are confused who could have said that, due to the pup being so close to the ground. He does eventually get their attention, and Spark makes a small comment of mockery.

To reenforce his declaration of his influence within the school, Bite states that he'd been flunking out, but Whiz and Spark don't seem to be impressed. Rotty is then called into the fight, and he and Bite growl at the pups. He threatens the trio, but is cut off when D.O.G wishes to begin speaking. Bite and Rotty take the empty seats beside Corazon, Spark, and Whiz, but not before giving them one last warning about confronting him. As the assembly begins, Bite sings the school howl and listens to D.O.G talk. Bite also goes to the classes before recess, but doesn't say much.
Later on as Spark sneaks off to the Dog Bowl, Bite and Rotty stop her in her tracks, ready to continue their fight. Spark tries to get them to leave, only for Bite to ask: "You want a piece of this?" As Corazon runs in, Rotty and he question his remark, much to the small pup's frustration. Whiz joins, and barks powerfully and opposing, fueling Bites anger.

   He beckons Whiz to do it once more, and he lets out a squeaky yap. Bite laughs, and the five pups begin to loudly argue in the hallway. Fitz and Coach K9 then arrive to break up the fight, and once the faculty departs, Bite says that the dispute would resume and leaves with Rotty.

As Fetchball begins, Bite sits on the bench with the others to hear the rules, and goes out onto the Fetchball field. Professor Howard also announces that he had been dominating all of his games for the past four dog years over his microphone. The game eventually starts, and a bone is launched from the Fetchball machine. Whiz backs away from it, allowing Bite to take it for the Growlers. After Rotty scores the next point, Bite chases after Corazon when he gets the ball.

Meanwhile Morgan went off to find Spark, Bite scored the third point for his team, and afterwards pauses to do his own little victory dance. Charlie then calls halftime, and when it is over, Bite encourages his team to crush the Howlers. However Spark comes back just in time, and Bite's response to this is that she should not be able to play after supposedly quitting, but is scolded by Charlie that she'd never began playing in the first place. Once the Howlers score three points in a row with the help of Spark, Bite calls for a time-out to devise a plan to win. He tells Rotty to bowl over Spark, and he will proceed to do his own thing; biting her.

   Rotty follows Bite's plan, and the Chihuahua sinks his teeth into Spark's leg. Bite cackles to himself, and says she now knows the origin of his names. This alerts Charlie, and Bite is put in the penalty box. While Bite is punished, the Howlers have a plan. As the other team executes it, Bite snaps for Whiz to let go of their shoe, and Rotty to go after him from the box. Bite quickly realizes his team has been tricked, and try as he may to get the players to win the game and stop this plan, the Howlers earn their victory.

#### Tell Us About Your Human Day

Bite's role is very minor in this episode. He stays quiet while the pups go up and tell tales about their owners, but when Fitz picks Spark to have a go, Bite teases that her human would have to be very strong to be able to tolerate her.

## Personality

Bite feels he runs Pup Academy and often brags about flunking. In order to get what he wants, he tends to be intimidating and aggressive.

## Physical Appearance

He is a white and tan Chihuahua smaller than most of the other dogs. He has been seen wearing the schools uniform as well as his "Prankster Sash" in which he claimed brought out his eyes.
