Odie

Odie is the dog of Jon Arbuckle.

He is just an ordinary dog, born in 1972 he was adopted as a puppy. Found on the road by the mangled body of his mother, likely hit by a car. His father was nowhere in sight.

Thus Jon took in Odie. Unable to let such a small and innocent creature suffer.

Though something changed in 1976, for Osiris began using the dog in order to watch Jon raise Garfield. Odie remained a mere dog, his mind and body untouched.

Odie lived to the old age of 16, dying August 21st, 1988. This devastated Jon, but left Garfield somewhat relieved. For some reason he absolutely despised the cur, and that reason, unbeknowgst to him, was the presence of Osiris.
