What's the name of the Hardy Boys' dog?

SDLagent · October 20, 2011, 02:57:54 PM

Biff's dog was Sherlock. And Chet had two dogs. I can't remember the Hardys' dog!

MacGyver · October 20, 2011, 10:31:17 PM

Yep, I knew about Biff's dog- didn't realize Chet had two dogs, though I'm not surprised since he lived on a farm. I'm sure one of the books must have mentioned that somewhere... But yeah, at some point in The Hardy Boys' history, they do have a dog. This one I feel is going to be pretty tricky but you can get it.

I don't know if Chet ever had two dogs at the same time but he had one and got a new on in Screeching Owl.

Okay- I do remember him having a dog in The Clue of the Screeching Owl now. It was even mentioned in The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries episode version of that book, "The Mystery of Witches' Hollow", as Fenton is seen having a time of having to dogsit for Chet's dog.

Anyway, keep looking for the answer- I'm sure you'll see it somewhere soon enough.

I'd forgotten that about "The Mystery of Witches' Hollow". In the book, he bought the dog in the Witches' Hollow area though.

Sneakers? (from The Doggone Detectives)

MacGyver · October 23, 2011, 03:00:16 PM

Hmm-not the one I was thinking of actually- wasn't even aware of that one, but I'm not surprised, especially given the title and the nature of the series, that The Hardys were shown having a dog somewhere in The Hardy Boys: Clues Brothers series.
So I'll give you that one on a technicality, but there is another dog mentioned and it's in more of the normal Hardy Boys continuity. (i.e. Frank and Joe are both 18 and 17, respectively- at least I would view it that way.)

I have, like, some faint memory of this. Kinda bugging me.

MacGyver · November 22, 2011, 04:21:39 PM

So did anyone ever figure out the dog I was thinking of? It may take you a minute as it's kind of a small thing but he does play a fairly important role in one Hardy Boys adventure- and it's quite a sight to see!

Is it from Crime In The Kennel.

SDLagent · November 23, 2011, 06:49:43 PM

Don't they look after a dog in The Melted Coins or something?

MacGyver · November 24, 2011, 05:50:52 AM

I would have to check both books... I'm beginning to realize there probably have been a good number of one-time references to dogs with The Hardy Boys.... I've been trying to give subtle hints, but perhaps I should just come right out and say it- the one I'm looking for is not in the books as far as I know
