spunky is rocko's pet miniature bull terrier. he has a very high-pitched bark and wags his tail a lot. he's not too bright and will eat anything on sight, including mr. bighead's salmon bushes and a moldy slime found in rocko's refrigerator. he often repeatedly drools into his water bowl and drinks it, only to drool into it again. he is rocko's only regular pet and rocko loves him dearly. rocko will go to great lengths to protect spunky if he is in danger or about to do something stupid. spunky is best remembered for falling in love with a mop in the episode "clean lovin'", much to rocko's dismay; spunky was noted to have used his front paws as hands as he tries to protect the mop. spunky is also the home of two parasites, bloaty and squirmy. spunky also can do a cool trick, but it was not shown.
