### Official Biography

*Ozzie is Angus' robot butler. Beyond his metal, square-shaped exterior, he is seemingly full of personality and wit and can get under the reclusive rock star's skin quite easily.*
## Story

### *Rock Dog*

Ozzie first appears performing routine chores around Angus's house as the latter is on the phone with his record label sponsor Ian, who is angrily demanding that Angus finish his latest song under threat of being dismissed from business. Trying to find inspiration, Angus bids Ozzie to toss him a guitar and start playing loud rock music. The robot pantomimes covering his ears at the horrible music Angus is attempting to play, but obediently gives Angus a glass of champagne to celebrate his completion of the song (only to spit it back in the glass when he realises how awful the song is and shreds the cassette tape.) Ozzie soon joins Angus at the window as they watch Bodi, having been ejected from the premises and dropped into a garbage truck. As the dog is hauled off, Ozzie watches silently as Angus claims they'll never have to see him again.

Next morning, Ozzie continues his daily routine, when Angus, feeling inspired, rushes past him towards his recording studio. Unable to play due to Bodi, having returned, is playing loudly outside, prompting a furious Angus to confront him. When Angus is later electrocuted by his own front gate and left paralyzed, he shouts out for Ozzie to come retrieve him, but the robot is distracted inside by a television program. Later in the day, Ozzie finally retrieves Angus outside the front gate, after the latter suffered a day of misfortune from various happenings.

Unable to write the song, Angus hears Bodi singing again outside, this time more inspiringly. Ozzie watches silently again as Angus gets an idea to invite Bodi so he can use his talent to complete the song. Ozzie is introduced to Bodi, who very kindly introduces himself in return, treating the robot like a small child, but a person, regardless.

Throughout the rest of the day, Ozzie assists Angus and Bodi in writing the song, until Ozzie notices that Bodi has found his "fire", manifested in a bright glowing blue wave of light, that blasts Ozzie backwards, out a side window and off the premises, into the nearby street. Ozzie is undamaged, as he returns to wave goodbye to Bodi, who returns to the park.

It is likely that Ozzie would later overhear Angus speaking to a radio announcer of the new song, but making no mention of Bodi and taking all the credit for himself. As Ozzie gazes out the window to a rainy day, he turns to silently stare at Angus for his selfish behaviour. After a few sorry attempts to excuse his actions, Angus feels guilty and leaves to make amends. He is unaware that Ozzie's battery had simply run out in the moment.

At the end of the film, Ozzie is recharged and is seen dancing to the song "Glorious" which Bodi and Angus wrote together and are performing on stage to a large crowd of animals.
