Pat the Dog is about the titular character who tries to save the day when his owner, Lola, is in trouble.

Characters

Main

Pat is the protagonist of the series. He is an intelligent, brave, kindhearted, mechanically inclined dog hero who will go to any lengths to protect the ones for whom he cares.
Lola is a girl who is Pat and Hoodie's owner. She has a special bond with Pat, but is often oblivious to the crazy adventures he goes on (which are more often than not revolved around her).
Victor is a spoiled and troublemaking boy who is Lola's next-door neighbor. He is also the main antagonist of the series and comes from a wealthy family. He can also be considered Lola's rival. Unlike Lola, Victor's parents do not show their faces.

Recurring

Hoodie is a cat who wears a hood and is also Lola's pet. He is very cute, fluffy and cheerful. He is also very harmless, because he never tries to hurt anyone. He can also get easily distracted by the birds who try to lure him into traps.He is also the one that Pat tries to save.
Tank is Victor's dog. He is very loyal to his owner and can be considered to be Pat's rival. (Note: His design suggests it is possible that Tank is a dog of the pit bull breed.)
The Triplet Birds are three rivals of Pat (Note: It is unknown why they have disagreements and become enemies of Pat the Dog.)
Poulette is a featherless chicken who is always “bullied” by Pat, because she is always seen getting into accident or hit by Pat.
Lucy is a girl who is Lola's best friend.
Hugo is a boy who is also friend of Lola and Lucy.
Mum is Lola's mother.
Dad is Lola's father.
Honorine is an elderly woman who is Lola's babysitter. She has a hamster named Pompom
Marcel is a thief who always steals things
Squizel is Marcel's mouse
