Biography
Hatchett is first seen when Colby feeds his top breeding dog's puppies. He comes into the abandoned building and thinks Colby stole Daisy from him. He discovers a mixed-breed pup and throws her across the room. He tells Colby to pick up the black puppies and didn't care for the white fluffy puppy.

10 months later, Hatchett discovers Colby's hideout shed and discovers the puppy and tries to kill her. However, two animal control officers named Livingston and Sheldon stop him and discover his Puppy Farm. Hatchett lies to the officers claiming that they rarely breed Daisy.

Later, he picks up the dog food and Livingston and Sheldon follow him to the river. He throws the bag into the river and Hatchett tells the duo that he shouldn't have thrown his lunch into the river. The officers claim that it wasn't his lunch.

When Colby and his mother make him hot soup, the puppy frees her mother from the cage and leads her to the abandoned house. When Hatchett discovers that his top breeder is missing, he claims that Colby put her to the abandoned building again. After he couldn't find her, they leave the building and the puppy hid her behind a bush.

After the police tells Hatchett that he needs to clean the cages when he comes back, the Benji film producer hides behind a bush near his house and does some news reporting about Hatchett on the radio. Hatchett loses his temper and throws the radio across the living room and breaks it.

After the puppy leads Livingston and Sheldon, along with a dog named Lizard Tongue, the officers decide to take care of the dog, because she was being way to over-bread, Hatchett comes to the Animal shelter and snaps at the veterinarian.

When Hatchett learns that the Benji film producer is in town and wants the fluffy dog to be the new Benji, he intimidates Colby into lying about being the owner. At the shelter, the fluffy dog is reunited with her mother, and Colby tells everyone the truth about the dog, which makes Hatchett lose his temper and get arrested.
