Actually Growler (claims to be a Miniature Great Dane) is a Chihahua but he can't come to terms with that. Even though he's the smallest character he's the bully of the group. He and Hackman are rivals for the paw of Fifi and, like all love triangles, fireworks ensue!

Growler and Hackman have a sneaking respect for each other but wouldn't dream of revealing their true feelings. They'd rather the world thought of them as bitter enemies.

Growler-isms

"IF SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL HOW COME I AIN'T?"

"THE BULLY ALWAYS GET THE BUM RAP!"

"LOTS OF GREAT CHARACTERS IN HISTORY WERE SMALL, NAPOLEON, GENGHIS KHAN ... THE PLAGUE!"

"I'M JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, I HAVE WANTS AND NEEDS AND PARANOIA!"
