Joe Murray, creator of Rocko's Modern Life, originally designed Spunky to be a dog more brain dead than the dog in his film "My Dog Zero", complete with drooling and crossed eyes. His first appearance was in Trash-O-Madness. Spunky appears in most episodes of Rocko's Modern Life. He has one black spot on his back and two yellow eyes with black pupils. Spunky is always safe in the end, thanks to Rocko's utmost care. He also wandered off and was snatched away by a bird at the beach, and once got vacuum packed at the supermarket. Once he ended up getting eaten by Earl, after carelessly getting thrown out as trash. He is always getting Rocko into crazy situations because of his stupidity. The most well known of these parasites are Bloaty the Tick and Squirmy the Ringworm who have several of their adventures, leeching of Spunky's body shown. These are portrayed in the episodes Dirty Dog, Down the Hatch and The Fatlands. Spunky is also known to be home to many, many external and internal parasites. He also sits limply on his butt, and drags it as he crawls around the house. One of his humorous actions is drooling into his water dish, mistaking it for more water, and drinking it again, and then repeating this over and over. He drools all the time with a vacant expression. Spunky is black-spotted, and far less intelligent than even real dogs. Spunky is different compared to most fictional dogs, who are ironically more intelligent than their masters.
