Dogs are a species in theAnimal Crossing series who appear both asvillagers and asspecial characters. In the real world, dogs are a domesticated animal that are commonly kept as house pets. They share this trait with thecats. The dog villagers appear to be simply generic dogs with floppy ears, while dog special characters have appearances based on a specific breed (Isabelle andDigby are Shih Tzu dogs,Booker is a Bulldog, etc.).
Twenty dogvillagers have appeared in the series so far, of which one is anislander, along with eight dog special characters; this makes dogs the species with the most special characters. Out of the dog villagers, twelve are male and eight are female, making it a predominantly male species. Of these, seven arelazy, three arenormal, three arepeppy, two arejock, two arecranky, one issmug, one issnooty, and one isbig sister.
Bow,Masa, andMegumi are the only dog villagers who have not reappeared sinceDoubutsu no Mori e+. All of the dogs who appear inNew Horizons also appear inAnimal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
