Personality[]
Being Greg the Dog with Officer Knight's body from the neck down, his personality is that of Greg's. Dog Man is very playful and likes to greet visitors with a friendly lick and jump like he does to Chief, even though Chief hates it. But when trouble arises, Dog Man acts seriously, just like Officer Knight did. He always gets the job done, no matter what it takes. He is also very cheerful and happy when nothing bad is happening in the city. He is loving and caring to everyone, especially Li'l Petey, whom he adopted. He also cares for Petey at times when he is not acting cunning and evil, such as in the 5th Dog Man book, Dog Man: Lord of the FLEAS, and has stopped viewing him as an enemy. He is mute, although he can still bark, growl, etc., like a dog since he has Greg's head. He is not an anthropomorphic dog, and there aren't any anthropomorphic dogs in the series either.
History[]
The Wrath of Petey[]
One day, due to his slobbish nature, a cop tells Dog Man that he needs a bath. Dog Man then runs away, because he hates baths. The cops then search the city for him, but are unable to find him. While in hiding, Dog Man discovers that Petey had escaped, which made him feel guilty. Dog Man left from hiding and searched for Petey. When Dog Man found his hideout, Petey was waiting for him a hose, and started trying to spray him with it. Dog Man dug a hole to try to escape from him, but Petey chased him. Dog Man dug under the zoo, and came up in the skunk cage. The stunks sprayed him, and Dog Man ran away. Petey ran away as well, disgusted by Dog Man's smell, but then Petey got caught in a cop's net upon coming out of the hole and got sent to jail. Dog Man takes a bath and becomes clean for the first time.
The Tongue of Justice[]
Dog Man accidentally barfs on Chief's chair, making Chief to get angry. He tells Dog Man to "straighten up or else." Then, Petey escapes and creates an evil air freshener and puts in the cop's cars, and they all become mindless zombies. Dog Man, however, liked to put his head out the window, so he never smelled it. Dog Man chases Petey into his lab, and spots the toilet. Dog Man drinks the toilet water and comes upstairs, surrounded by Petey and his zombies. Petey says he has his antidote, but he hid it in his toilet bowl. Dog Man realizes that he drank the antidote the whole time, so he barfs up all of the liquid, the cops are no longer zombies, and Petey is put back into Cat Jail.
