Characters

Charlie Peterson

First Appearance: "Welcome to the Team"

Charlie is a 4-year-old, anthropomorphic Husky-Labrador mix dog that has the ability to speak, walk on his hind legs, and use his front legs as arms. Charlie’s hands are similar to those of a human’s, making it possible for him to hold objects and perform tasks that dogs normally can’t. He is rather soft-spoken, but enjoys spending time with his friends and family, and doing what he loves. He lives with his (extremely) dysfunctional family, the Petersons: Daniel, Jackie, Matthew, and Laura, in an urban area just outside of downtown. Charlie did attempt to go to school at one point, but was unable to finish and has yet to earn his degree. It is unclear if the staff at the hospital is aware of this (hence why he remains employed), but Anthony and his family members know about this and at times are not shy about reminding Charlie for his “failure.”

Anthony Vasquez

First Appearance: "Welcome to the Team"

Charlie’s best friend, Anthony is a sixteen-year-old prodigy who is overly smart, speaks an extensive vocabulary, and typically is using this to his advantage when around Charlie, sometimes making him feel foolish. He suffers from both vision loss and mental disorders, and can be very easy to agitate. He does not let his vision problems get in the way of being able to live a normal life, as he owns a drivers license and several vehicles. He primarily drives a white 2018 Ford Explorer (that eerily resembles an undercover police car), and also owns a dark green 2010 Ford Crown Victoria (that also looks like a police car). He is a native of Denver and graduated from the University of Colorado's School of Dental Medicine before moving to Rockport, about a year before meeting Charlie.

Dave Madison

First Appearance: "Welcome to the Team"

An older gentleman, Dave is a thirty-six year old who has been married to his wife Patricia for three years. He is friends with Anthony & Charlie but does not share the same relationship that they share with each other. He is usually the more rational member of the group, typically tending to act more serious than others, and listens to reason more often than not.

Kevin Ledford

First Appearance: "I AM... Your Father"

Kevin is a fifty-five-year old man who is the biological father of Anthony. However, this is the first time he has gotten to know his son after sixteen years, as he left Anthony and his mother shortly after he was born. He attempts to reconnect with his son, but finds it difficult as Anthony sees a father figure in Charlie more than Kevin. Anthony does eventually give Kevin the chance, and continues to get to know his father after they first meet in person. Anthony also helps Kevin get a position as a doctor in the hospital, much to his resentment and despite his lack of knowledge or training, as a way to further their relationship and have more time to spend with one another, and uses this as an excuse for his decision. Kevin is slightly overweight, is nearly bald and has a similar eye condition to Anthony, but is far less intelligent than his son and frequently tends to get things wrong, do or say something stupid, or constantly make mistakes.

Butch Sanchez

First Appearance: "Charlie's Angels... or Devils"

Introduced later in the series, Butch is an anthropomorphic St. Bernard of a seemingly older age (possibly around seven or eight), that is adopted by the Peterson family upon fearing that they had lost Charlie. However. Butch shares similar characteristics to Charlie, such as the ability to speak and walk on his hind legs, but is much larger than Charlie is, outweighing him by about a hundred pounds. Butch’s backstory quickly catches up to him and lands him in the doghouse for a crime he may or may not have committed by accident, that may or may not involve Charlie. When they meet each other for the first time, the two seem to be getting along, but soon find themselves at odds with each other until eventually growing a casual friendship.

Kenny Williams

First Appearance: "It's a Great White!"

Introduced later in the series, Kenny is a young shark who moves in across the street from Charlie and Anthony. They first meet when he visits the dentist for the first time, at which it’s revealed he is both extremely shy and anxious, with an obvious fear of dentists and anything involving pain. Once he learns about this, Anthony helps him to get over his fears and eventually hires him as his "personal" dental assistant. After this, he is still very shy and quiet, but warms up to both Anthony and Charlie very quickly, as the three become good friends.

Teddy Collins

First Appearance: "To a Hire Power"

Born to a small family, Theodore has lived his entire life in the mountains, but recently moved to the city to start a new life, meet new people, and pursue a job. After the launch of All Species Dental Care, he applies for a position as a dentist, despite having no training or education. Anthony decides to bring him on board as a “dentist in training,” initially hiring Teddy as an assistant with the intention of training him to be promoted at a later date. He is referred to as a “wise old bear,” given his knowledge of survival skills and older age (when compared to other bears). He has a wife and three cubs, who still live in the mountains.

Jake Greene

First Appearance: "To a Hire Power"

Jake is one serious cat, that doesn’t like to mess around. Usually very timid, though easy to agitate or anger, Jacob was born and raised in the jungle, before being "captured" by researchers one day and taken to a local zoo, as he was told they wanted to "find out more about what happens to tigers when they are taken away from their natural habitat," as he claims it was explained to him. He eventually "escaped" and returned to the wild, but this left a permanent mark on his trust for humans. He soon learned to adapt to life in the city, never finding his way back home, and finds a job as a dental hygienist at All Species in order to “learn how to better interact with the human race.”

Percy Perkins

First Appearance: "To a Hire Power"

Little Percy is a dapper British penguin who always like to look good. Though constantly mocked for his size, he usually tries to fit in any what he can. Once given the opportunity, he immediately applies to work at All Species Dental Care, though Anthony is concerned that, given his small size, he can easily get injured when working with patients and the equipment. Percy pleads with him to be given a chance, so Anthony gives him a "test run" as his assistant to make sure he can keep an eye on him. Percy constantly finds himself getting into some sort of mishap, and nearly gets fired on multiple occasions. Through his charming personality, he is able to convince Anthony he can be a valuable addition to the team, so Percy is hired full-time as an administrative assistant, that occasionally finds himself helping out on days when it’s busy as a hygienist or assistant.

Dakota Wolfe

First Appearance: "Wolf 'n Croc Connection"

Botn and raised in the Canadian wilderness, Dakota is a wolf that never likes to be far away from his pack. Once domesticated by accident, Dakota one day found himself at the vet for some tooth problems, but found his experience so intriguing he started studying dentistry. He studied on his own and was able to become an orthodontist with lots of training and experience. Together with his business partner, he opened a small dental office just outside of Rockport but has since struggled to make ends meet, working extensive hours and exhausting himself just to try to survive. Dakota is friendly, but quiet and introverted, and usually likes to keep to himself.

Archie Shaw

First Appearance: "Wolf 'n Croc Connection"

Archie is one of the biggest in his family, as the oldest of eight brothers. Born in Australia, he was relocated to the US sometime as a teenager. He first gained a fascination for teeth when he was young, and pursued a career in endodontics when he was able. He met his business partner shortly after graduating, proceeding to open a small clinic shortly thereafter. Much like Dakota, he spends long hours at the office, working extensive shifts with numerous patients just to keep the doors open. When he does get time to rest, Archie loves playing video games in his spare time, and is never shy to talk about them for hours with his “mates.” Archie is clever, witty, and has a big stomach, though loves helping people any way he can.

Max Johnson

First Appearance: "A Kid at Heart"

Maxwell is a dog that doesn’t like to mess around. Raised in a military family, Max was at first bred to be a war hero, but felt the armed forces were too stressful and dangerous for him, so he pursued a career in medicine. He found an interest in cardiology and found success in the field, gaining a job at Rockport Memorial Hospital shortly after Charlie was hired, though they would not meet until Anthony was in need of surgery many months later. Max loves to use his spare time for sports, and is a champion of agility trials and disc competitions.
