Santa's Little Helper
Item from The Simpsons by Matt Groening / Fox
The Simpson family's greyhound dog — a failed racing dog adopted on Christmas Eve who has been mildly catastrophic and deeply beloved ever since.
Also known as: No. 8, Suds McDuff, Satan's Little Helper
What They Know
- Was a losing greyhound (No. 8) at Springfield Downs, abandoned by his owner after his last race on Christmas Eve
- Homer adopted him on impulse — the decision was made by feelings rather than practicality and has remained consistent with that origin
- Has had puppies, been a police dog, and served as a seeing-eye dog in various episodes — each role ending in his return to Simpson family chaos
- His loyalty to Bart is particularly strong, in the way of dogs who understand something about their person
