“Always tell the truth, never take stuff that doesn't belong to you and don't chew your butt in public!”
—Dudley Puppy, Purr-fect Partners
Dudley Puppy is the titular character and the primary protagonist of T.U.F.F. Puppy. Although he is still just a puppy, Dudley's got the heart of a pack of full-grown dogs. He supposedly has no fear and hates wearing pants. Reared on his mother's strict morals (see quote), he was brought up strong, good-hearted, and destined to stop all badness and meanness in its tracks! Now if only he could figure out how to follow that last rule.
Though at first chasing bones may have excited him more than chasing bad guys, Dudley is becoming a fully-fledged hero and now gives all he's got to keeping the streets of Petropolis crime-free. But thanks to his lack of self control and extreme hyperactivity, that doesn't mean things always go smoothly. Dudley's a loose cannon and has a way of messing things up before he fixes them. That's why his boss the Chief paired him up with his "purr-fect" partner Kitty Katswell to teach him to be a better hero for their beloved city of Petropolis. Together, they're bringing D.O.O.M. down, one thug at a time.
Dudley Puppy is voiced by Jerry Trainor, who is best known for his role as "Crazy Steve" on Drake & Josh, as well as "Spencer Shay" on iCarly and starred in the movie Best Player as "Quincy Johnson" all of which are owned by Nickelodeon, along with T.U.F.F. Puppy itself. In addition, Trainor also plays Wendell in the TV series Wendell and Vinnie.
Background
The first clues to Dudley's past were shown in Big Dog on Campus. During his high school years, he looked radically different. Being very skinny with no build, wearing very large braces and glasses, and covered in pimples. It was also revealed that he was a bullied outcast. Dudley's father is also absent and completely unmentioned, leaving fans to wonder where he is.
Description
One day, Dudley (trying to catch his new super-bouncy chew toy) accidentally foiled a huge crime being committed by the city's resident bad guy crew D.O.O.M. owned by the despicable Verminious Snaptrap. This led the Chief to investigate the scene and eventually bring him to genius inventor/scientist Keswick. It was then the scientist analyzed Dudley's DNA and the T.U.F.F. agents discovered that he is the ultimate mutt: a mix of every breed of dog known to man. (With a dash of billy goat that even Keswick can't explain.) This was awesome news for Dudley (who became known as "Agent Puppy"), but bad news for T.U.F.F.'s top agent Kitty Katswell who found him irritating to work with. She was assigned to train Dudley and be his partner, which proved to be more challenging than rewarding. Kitty and Dudley

Appearance
Even though he's said to be a mix of every breed of dog known to man (or animal), Dudley has the appearance of a beagle (resembling dogs like Snoopy from the Charlie Brown franchise having black ears and nose, while the rest of his fur is white) but with blue eyes. He wears only a tight, black T-shirt and he almost never wears any pants, as he is shown to hate them. In a few episodes he has worn a pair for a certain reason, usually for a disguise. He has a physically fit chest and pair of arms (most-likely due to his Alaskan malamute DNA), with skinny legs (most-likely due to his greyhound DNA), giving him a top-heavy frame, and has a short, pointy tail on top of a bubbly butt. He's about 5 feet tall (excluding ears) as shown by the mugshot of his doppelganger, Dr. Rabies.
Personality
“We can't stop this thing, Kitty! I'm scared, and I wanna go home!”

Relationships with Other Characters (Alphabetically)
As time goes by in Petropolis, Dudley is forming growing relationships with other characters.
Bird Brain
Dudley, Kitty, Peg, and Bird Brain.
The Chameleon
Dudley and The Chameleon.
The Chameleon, or as Dudley used to say when he first read his name, the "Cham-ah-lee-on", is originally a nemesis of Kitty's. In Doom-mates, once he breaks out of jail, Dudley is assigned by the Chief to protect Kitty from the Chameleon. It is shown that he thinks the Chameleon is creepy because of how his eyes are positioned and how they move. In Puppy Love, the Chameleon disguises himself as an attractive French poodle named Fifi Oui Oui, who Dudley gains romantic interest in. Near the end, though, Dudley accidentally spills his drink on her, causing Fifi to reveal her true identity as the Chameleon. Once, Dudley was assigned to take care of the Chameleon while on a train to Petsburg in order to protect him from D.O.O.M. because he was a witness to one of their crimes. Dudley need to endure The Chameleon's odd habits and bodily needs. It was then that the Chameleon attempted to befriend Dudley to which he responded negatively. Later in the episode Dudley responded to his affection positively for a brief moment.

The Chief
The Chief has only one loose end that he can't seem to tie up: his reckless new recruit, Dudley. He would love to keep a closer eye on him, but Dudley's flea collar makes that harder than you'd think! But despite his frustration towards him, The Chief is actually hopeful of his abilities. The Chief is warming up to his new recruit more and more every day.
Keswick
Dudley and Keswick.
When Dudley was hired by T.U.F.F. Keswick was somewhat confused and fascinated about Dudley's complicated DNA. Keswick was also open to make friends with Dudley. However, he also found him mildly annoying and extremely dimwitted. But due to Dudley's open attitude towards his fellow agents, as time passed, Keswick learned to tolerate him and his immature ways and they got along. As of now, they seem to share a light, friendly relationship.
Kitty Katswell
- Main article: Dudley-Kitty Relationship
Dudley and Kitty.
Kitty Katswell is Dudley's partner. If she had her way, Dudley would never have been asked to join the Turbo Undercover Fighting Force. As his partner, she sees everyday what a reckless danger he can be to their operations. But Kitty knows that what the Chief says goes. So she does her best to train her puppy partner to be a hero. Dudley's relationship with Kitty starts out as a love-hate relationship, since they used to fight a lot like bickering siblings, then later in the show, they start to get along more and became heartfelt friends. After a while Kitty becomes more confident in Dudley's abilities and stops treating him as an annoying undesirable mutt and more like a good friend and equal. It is even rumored among many fans of the show that they have some sort of romantic relationship with each other.
Dudley and his Mom
Peg Puppy
Dudley and Peg have a standard mother and son relationship. According to evidence in the show, it can be inferred that Dudley grew up without his father around. Therefore, Peg raised Dudley alone. She is extremely protective over him, and puts safety over all else (to the extent that it makes him dependent and gets in his way sometimes). However, Dudley is proud to be her son and agrees that she usually knows best.
Verminious Snaptrap
Dudley and Snaptrap.
Snaptrap is actually the most dangerous enemy for T.U.F.F. despite his personality. Dudley too. By some clues in the show, Snaptrap and his organization D.O.O.M. almost always had the advantage before Dudley joined T.U.F.F. So when Dudley became a T.U.F.F. agent, the tables were turned. Dudley seems to have a great dislike towards him that exceeds his dislike towards his other enemies.
