Dog is a large, quadruped mammal reminiscent of a bulldog, even possessing a noticeable underbite. The fur covering his body is light brown in color, with a darker brown mane resembling a lion's and a beige underbelly and feet. He has several small spikes on his back surrounded by dark brown spots. Dog has pink, cat-like ears, and a black nose. His eyes are small with small, blue and red irises and black pupils, and his sclera is much more pronounced than non-hominid mammals. He has four thick legs with exposed claws.
As a puppy, Dog closely matched his adult form, but smaller in size. His mane was much shorter and his ears were larger in proportion to the rest of his body. His legs were also much more stubby compared to his body.
Personality
Although not very friendly by nature, Dog is a mostly silent and docile animal who is tolerant of human presence. He is highly protective of Annie, becoming agitated and aggressive if she is ever threatened. Dog doesn't care much for those he dislikes, as he refused to help Charlie out of a pit, even when asked to by Annie. He is also quite stubborn when it comes to Charlie, but will listen to him should the situation require it. As a puppy, Dog was seemingly friendlier.
Origins
After Dog and Annie's fathers killed each other, Dog was left orphaned as a puppy and had bonded with Annie over their shared grief. Dog would then remain by Annie's side for the following 10 years.
History
- Skull Island (TV 2023)
Monsterverse
Skull Island
"Maritime Pilot"
Annie mentions Dog, asking if he is okay.
"The Last Blank Space on the Map"
As Annie fought off two of Irene's mercenaries, Dog's growl was heard throughout the jungle of Skull Island. Excited at having heard her companion, Annie let out a series of howls, prompting Dog to arrive at the scene. Dog took down the two mercenaries and threw Annie into the air, much to the latter's delight.
"What's Up, Croc?"
After Charlie and Mike had survived their encounter with the Croc Monster, Dog suddenly appeared, towering over them. As Mike and Charlie argued, Dog lied with Annie on the ground nearby, rolling over. Bored, Dog got up suddenly and began walking off.
Dog later settled on a cliff, where he slept. Charlie walked over to the canid, only for him to snort in his sleep. As Charlie and Annie conversed, Dog awakened, growling at the former. The canid stared Charlie down, convincing him to go to sleep.
The next day, Annie rode Dog as they prepared to look for food. Dog growled at Charlie again, refusing to allow him to ride on his back. The canid then walked off in his search for food.

Durability
Dog possesses great durability. He is resistant to gunfire and able to shrug off attacks from foes around his size. He also survived being swept by large waves during Kong's fight with the Kraken.
Swimming
According to Annie, Dog is an adept swimmer. He was capable of swimming from his native island to Skull Island and being able to track her down.
Weaknesses
Dog's speed was slowed down with two humans riding on him shown when Annie and Chairlie attempted to lure Kong out which forced Charlie to get off so Dog can outrun Kong so he can be lured to fight the Kraken.
While formidable his smaller size compared to other monsters on Skull Island allowed him be easily grabbed by more larger monsters, such as Hawk Monster easily grabbed and flown away with him.
While a adept swimmer Dog struggled to swim in strong waves and currents shown during Kong's fight with the Kraken causes massive waves that dragged him down into sea and would have drowned had Kong not saved him. When Kong tossed the Kraken's corpse after killing it, the wave generated from impact in water swept him away from Annie.
