**Bull Dog** is a major character in the *Enchanted Pup* franchise. He's a super-powered Dog Star with the ability to retract bull horns from his head and use them against his enemies.

## Background

Bull Dog lived on a planet where animals were capable of growing horns from their heads. The horned animals' culture on their planet was wrestling that was in the form of bullfighting. Bull Dog was a champion in that sport that he found to be very exciting and enjoyable for a while. He then grew bored with the bullfighting and hoped to do something else with his life. Luckily, his wish is granted when he gets a job offer from the Dog Stars. He happily accepts the offer and begins to reside in their spaceship where he befriends Tail Terrier, Paw Pooch, Hot Dog and the other members of the patrol.

### Development

   Bulldog is based off the character with the same name from the 2005 TV show, *Krypto the Superdog.* He's one of the Dog Stars that the Elkwood wanted to include in his stories. Just like his teammates, Bulldog is able to engage into human-related activities and his family will be further explained in the upcoming episodes.

### Personality

Bulldog is introduced to be a tough and honorable fighter who doesn't fight for wealth or fame, he fights to protect and honor his family and those who are eternally loyal to him. In nature and tone of voice, Bulldog is very humble and kind. Aside from Brainy, Bulldog is shown to be very elegant and gentlemanly as he kindly introduced himself to Hansel when he boarded the Dog Stars' ship and became an official Dog Star. He also supported Hansel with retrieving his invention. Bulldog is shown to be best friends with Tail Terrier and is mostly seen with him in most of the episode.

Despite Bulldog being a dog of class and elegance, he can sometimes act rather childish and immature as he fights with his teammates, notably male ones. Bulldog can be easily annoyed by Hotdog's temper or Tusky's inflated ego.

### Physical appearance

Bulldog is a large, round and slightly obese English Bulldog with blue fur. He wears a red spiked collar and blue triangular spots on his back.

As the Dog Stars retreated back to their ship, Mechanikat swore vengeance and that he'll retrieve the memory chip, if it's the last thing he does.

In the episode, Mechanikat finds an invention in Metro City that is capable of retrieving the forgotten memory. He hires Snooky to retrieve the invention which belonged to the young inventor named King Hansel. Snooky disabled the machine causing it to malfunction and destroy half of the science fair, motivating Hansel to believe that the malfunction was all his fault. However, Krypto and Streaky witnessed Snooky's tampering and alerted Hansel about it. Now angered with Snooky's villainy, Hansel jumps into action and boards the Dog Stars' spaceship where he meets the Dog Stars, himself.

They all give Hansel, their respect as he's recognized as a hero all over the planet. They switch the ship to stealth mode and infiltrate Mechanikat's spaceship.

Mechanikat tells them, his plan to retrieve the memory, construct the doomsday device and use to conquer the entire galaxy. Before leaving to activate the doomsday device, Mechanikat opens up a pit of lava which he plans to kill the Dog Stars with.

Hansel manages to get ahold of the doomsday by using his grappling hook gun and restore the Dog Stars' powers. They break out of the cage and battle the incoming Cat Bots. The Cat Bots are defeated, Mechanikat is stripped of his memory and Hugo regains his invention. As the Dog Stars traveled back home to Earth, Brainy awards Hansel with a medal for his heroism and offers him a job aboard the Dog Stars Patrol. Hansel accepts the offer, much to the joy of the others. They return to Metro City, Hansel re-enters the science fair and wins it.
