Spike is the Pickles' family pet. Tommy claims him to be his best "animal" friend. The character is considered a main character in the series, appearing in almost three quarters of all of the episodes, though he usually does not come along when the Rugrats venture to new locations. It is mentioned that his breed is the fictional "Siberian Tiger Hound." As shown in The Rugrats Movie and Rugrats Go Wild, Spike is very protective of the babies, as he sees them as his "babies".

Description

Spike is Tommy's best "animal" friend. The dog is currently married to Fifi, a purple-and-white poodle. He often plays with Tommy and is usually seen inside or near the Pickles' house. Spike has helped the Rugrats through more adventures than he can count (if he could count, that is). Spike doesn't have any magical powers, and he doesn't seem to do anything all that amazing, but looks can be deceiving. Spike watches over the babies more closely than Stu, Didi or Lou. He is always willing to get his paws in the action when it comes to adventures.

Looks

Spike is mostly an orange-brown color. He has two gray spots on his body and wears a red collar with a gold tag.

Appearances

Spike appears in most episodes of Rugrats and is classified a main protagonist of the series. His first appearance was in Tommy Pickles and the Great White Thing, the pilot episode for Rugrats.
