| ~ Mad Dog threatening Bunny. |
Mad Dog is the main antagonist of the Courage the Cowardly Dog episode "The Mask".
He is a brown anthropomorphic dog, resembling a Doberman Pinscher, who was Bunny's abusive boyfriend/implied pimp, which in turn, made Kitty develop her hatred towards dogs.
He was voiced by the late Peter Fernandez, who also voiced Benton Tarantella, Conway the Contaminationist, and The Spirit of the Harvest Moon in the same series.
Personality[]
Although little of Mad Dog's personality is showcased in his relatively brief screen time, Mad Dog is shown to be extremely abusive and highly domineering towards Bunny. Despite this, whenever he went too far in his wrath, he was shown to be suave and charismatic enough to coax Bunny to stay with him.
On the whole, though, Mad Dog was brutal, dangerous, and possessive to the extent that he has qualms harming or killing anyone who attempted to interfere in his business and, when sufficiently pushed, Bunny herself. He's also been shown to be jealous of Bunny's relationship with Kitty. He was also narcissistic enough to believe his tattered apartment is evident of his first-rate lifestyle.
Biography[]
At some point, Mad Dog and Bunny got into a relationship that became abusive over time. He also separated her from her best friend, Kitty, due to jealousy and (it is subtly implied) made her into a prostitute. He forced Kitty to leave town as well. It was because of him that Kitty believed all dogs were evil. Any time Bunny did something such as trying to escape, he would punish her by burying her in a flowerpot, leaving only her head to the surface.
Being scared by Mad Dog's actions, Kitty arrives at Courage's house, repeatedly beating him due to being under the notion that all dogs are evil. After Muriel invites her to stay at the house for a while, Courage is desperate to find a way to get rid of her. After he finds Kitty's squeaky toy (a gift from Bunny), he manages to find Bunny in Mad Dog's apartment after she's been put in a flowerpot for trying to escape. Courage helps her out, but not before going through Mad Dog's minions.
After they escape to get to the train that Kitty's on, Mad Dog chases both Bunny and Courage with his car in an attempt to kill them, but Courage dives through the window and swerves the car onto the railroad tracks. A passenger train approaches, and Courage jumps out of the car just before it gets destroyed. Mad Dog is left laughing in pain on the train's diesel-powered steam locomotive while holding the steering wheel.
Trivia[]
- Mad Dog is often considered one of the most disturbing villains in the show as compared to many others who are supernatural beings, Mad Dog is one of the few villains whose crimes are portrayed in a realistic way (even though he's an anthropomorphic dog), as he's meant to represent an abusive lover, and his crimes are the main reason behind Kitty's xenophobia to dogs (which is equivalent to women's misandry after having bad experiences with them).
