Satchel Pooch

Satchel Pooch is a fictional character in Darby Conley's comic strip Get Fuzzy. He is an anthropomorphic dog, a Shar Pei/Yellow Lab cross.

Satchel lives in an apartment with the hostile Siamese cat Bucky Katt and their owner, Rob Wilco. He was named after famous baseball pitcher Satchel Paige.

Satchel is kind, gentle, and sympathetic. These traits, coupled with his naïvete and gullibility, make him a natural target for the scheming Bucky. Although he often seems oblivious to his own exploitation, Satchel does express a resigned frustration from time to time towards Bucky and his hostilities. He seems to have forgotten that dogs are traditionally the natural aggressor in the dog-cat relationship, and in fact, intimidation appears to be completely alien to the affable, easygoing dog. He has only threatened Bucky with violence once, and that was due to Bucky's bad-mouthing of Satchel's friends rather than anything aimed at Satchel directly.

Satchel's personality serves as a direct foil to that of Bucky's: easy to please, optimistic to the extreme, and perfectly content to peacefully coexist with everyone. He is good friends with Bucky's nemesis, Fungo Squiggly.

True to character, Satchel takes a neutral position in the ongoing sports feud between professed Yankee fan Bucky and rabid Red Sox fan Rob. (Satchel says he likes the Cubs.) He is also a Harry Potter enthusiast, proudly displaying a Gryffindor poster in his room, and, rather naturally, a supporter of animal rights.

Despite being unable to tell time, Satchel wears a wristwatch on his left front paw.
