**Chalk** (チョーク, **Chōku**) is a dog from Ishigami Village that is owned by Suika.

## Appearance

Chalk is a small dog with perfectly white fur and no markings. His ears flop over a little and his nose is fully black. His fur is quite short, the only exception being his tail which is slightly bushy. Chalk wears the village rope around his neck as a collar, marking him as one of the Ishigami villagers.

When Chalk gets older, he gains darker markings across his back, upper head and on the outside of his legs similar to a shiba inu. His ears have also perked up rather than stay floppy like they were as a puppy, and his tongue no longer lolls out of his mouth.

## Personality

Chalk is quite a playful dog, frequently found playing with the foxtail millet. He rarely barks, but if he does it's to get someone's attention or out of excitement rather than from being scared or surprised.

## Abilities and Skills

* **Sniffing**: Chalk is trained to follow various scents, such as seeking out specific people or sniffing out truffles.

* **Dramatic Reveals**: On two occasions, Chalk has dramatically pulled the cover off something, revealing something that was meant to remain hidden.

## Synopsis

Chalk first appears playing with Suika outside Chrome's hut, trying to grab the foxtail. He then helps in the way a dog normally does as the humans turn the millet into flour. Later, Chalk joins Suika, Senku and Chrome on their trip to the sunflower field to test out Suika's new glasses. He is also shown celebrating next to Suika when the others to get back from Sulfurina's lake, carrying sulfuric acid.

### Village Games Arc

     During the Grand Bout, Chalk is amongst the crowd that was slowly realizing that Ginro should never become Village Chief. It's unclear if he's simply mimicking everyone else or if he agrees with their sentiments. Chalk then joins the walk with a newly-healthy Ruri out into one of the nearby meadows.

After Hyoga's initial attack on the village, Chalk joins Suika in scouting out the hidden path Gen left for them to follow. Together, they deliver the tiny knife Senku made to him.

Following Hyoga's second attack and the Kingdom of Science's subsequent retaliation by trying to sneak a cellphone into the Tsukasa Empire, Chalk tries to help track Homura by sniffing along the ground, however due to her gymnastics movements he is unable to find her scent. He's also the one who found Mantle knocked out and in a bush, having been attacked while guarding Homura, then revealing that Homura had replaced herself with a dummy under a blanket.

### Age of Exploration Arc

     During the boat competition between Magma, Senku and Yo, Chalk pulls the cover off of Yo's "completed" ship. Suika and Chalk were also summoned by Francois as the resident forest experts to help them find ingredients for black truffle pork rillettes. Once they find boars, Francois demonstrates how to use them to hunt truffles. When they find one and it gets immediately eaten by Sagara, Chalk is trained on the scent to find the rest of them.

### New America City Arc

Chalk is also very excited to see Suika again after she returns from Treasure Island.

### South America Arc

Following the second Petrification Event, Chalk tries to interact with a petrified Mirai Shishio but sulks when she does not respond. Sagara finds Chalk in the village, before they run off somewhere in the forest. Years pass, with Chalk and Sagara having grown.

### Globetrotting Arc

Following the return of the Perseus, Chalk and Sagara are reunited with the now older Suika. The trio share a hug after being separated for more than a decade. It turns out that the pair created a Stone wall to prevent the statues from being destroyed by environmental hazards. Suika is pleased they protected everyone before noticing they have families now. She realizes how they have moved on and decides to do the same before they separate. However, this does not last long as both of them and their packs come back to dine on the cooking that François has made, with the kingdom of science noting on how the breakup did not last. Much later, it is revealed they were inspired to build the wall by the dam that the villagers created.

## Trivia

* Chalk is probably thus named because of his perfectly white fur.
* Chalk may be descended from the dog shown on page 25 of Chapter 1.
