*barks* Warning, baby! *growls* Woof.
―Happy Dog to Dr. Happy[src]

Happy Dog is a male dog. He is the pet and sidekick of Dr. Happy.

Happy Dog assisted Dr. Happy in bringing endangered animals to an animal sanctuary, including Timon and Pumbaa. 28 years after their arrival, Timon and Pumbaa began to feel homesick and resolved to return home. They used potato sacks to distract Dr. Happy and Happy Dog, during which they escaped the preserve. However, while chasing the potato sacks, Dr. Happy and Happy Dog ran back into Timon and Pumbaa, who fled for fear of being captured again.

Later, when Bartholomew escaped Dr. Happy's lab, Happy Dog warned his master of the situation. Dr. Happy assured Happy Dog that they would re-capture Bartholomew the following day.
