Character BioEdit

Whistle is a non anthropomorphic dog and a recurring character, first appearing in Doggone It. Whistle is based on writer Ken Pontac's dog with the same name, whose barks were recorded for the episode. Whistle and his look-alikes have also made several other appearences such as in A Sight for Sore Eyes, Junk in the Trunk, and Chore Loser.

Whistle is mostly a sweet and seemingly harmless puppy, but somehow, he might be Flippy's dog, for when he hears a whistling sound (such as a whistling tea kettle, a bird whistling, or someone blowing a whistle) he grows savage and blood-thirsty (like Flippy), killing the closest person. Because of this behavior, he is often compared to Flippy. When he has finished killing someone, he turns back into a regular puppy. In Doggone It there are dozens of dogs just like Whistle in the back of Lifty and Shifty's van, who also go insane when they hear a whistle. He served as The Mole's guide dog in A Sight for Sore Eyes, though he was yellow and non-aggressive.

A dog similar to Whistle or a different version of Whistle appeared in the HTF-Break short Chore Loser, only it was blue and attacked people without hearing a whistle. The Cursed Idol was in this episode, however, making it possible that it was the cause of his aggression.

Whistle is light gray in color and has a blue mark around his eye. All of the countless other dogs lifty and shifty stole in doggone it were either the same color he was or grayish-turqouise or purple, and each had the noteable eye ring around a different eye each.

Cub's DeathEdit

The concept behind Whistle's killing method is to kill something, then he returns to his friendlier mentality, and there has been confusion if he has killed Cub in Doggone It, it is actually fair to assume Whistle hasn't killed Cub because Whistle was still acting savage even after Cub was attacked and he was all over Pop. Despite saying that, there are two points to make that go against this statement: the first is Cub could've bled out while Pop was being attacked, as he was very badly injured, the other being that Whistle is supposed to return to "normal" after killing someone, doesn't mean he will, it is common for an animal to not be 100% consistent in their behaviour, however, it can be argued to defend this point as he only ever went back to his friendly state when no-one saw him kill anything, so he may have been caught in the act by Pop, and that spurred him on to attack Pop.
