She is a standard poodle mix (half poodle from her Standard Poodle French father and a mutt mother), though she easily passes for a purebred. She is an imaginative dog who runs a neighborhood pet support group out of her owner Jill's living room. She considers herself the stable, wise leader who inherited therapeutic gifts from her human, but she also wrestles with her own hidden desires, neuroses, and a complicated relationship with her partner, Chief.
