Ted Stein and Stewey McMann

Ted Stein and Stewey McMann are the main antagonists in The Dog Who Saved... franchise. They are a couple of thieves who resort to stealing anything or kidnapping anyone in order to pay a debt to a loan shark named Tony Rowe only to end up getting caught by a former K-9 police dog named Zeus, now a pet dog to the Bannister family, and then arrested by the police every time.

While Ted appears to be smarter, Stewey turns out to be rather dim-witted and always hungry; his favorite being bologna. Ted disapproves of Stewey's eating habits especially during a robbery; often referring it to "funny business." Whenever Stewey gets an anxiety, he gets gas and blows a couple of farts and somehow seems to calm down whenever Ted is around to help him; implying he "always knows how to make him feel better." Stewey also hates dogs, particularly Zeus more than Ted does.

In the sequels, The Dog Who Saved Easter and The Dog Who Saved Summer, it is revealed that Ted actually has a felon brother named Fred, whom he dislikes given their history when he ratted them out on a job and had them sent to prison for two years, which the latter considers a "favor" he did for them.

The Dog Who Saved Christmas
Ted and Stewey, disguised as plumbers, have been robbing so many houses in the neighborhood. Their latest house to rob is the home of the newly-arrived family, the Bannisters. Little do they know that they have brought home a former K-9 police dog named Zeus from the pound, now their pet but with the inability to bark due to a bad history in the past on the job on the police force, for protection.
