Who is Hot Dog?

Hot Dog is Jughead Jones's loyal, lovable pet dog and constant companion in the Archie Comics universe, known for his easygoing personality and close bond with his laid-back owner.

A Silver Age surprise, Hot Dog debuted in the pages of Superboy #136 in 1967 — a curious origin for a character who would go on to become a fixture of Archie Comics for nearly four decades. Turning up most reliably in Jughead's Jokes, Jughead, and Jughead's Double Digest, this lovable presence keeps the best possible company, sharing pages with Jughead Jones, Archie Andrews, Reggie Mantle, Moose Mason, and Ethel Muggs. Brought into the world by the legendary Silver Age duo of Otto Binder and Curt Swan, Hot Dog is a charming little piece of Riverdale history worth a second look for any Archie devotee.
