Thurston

Thurston is the main antagonist of the book "A Tale of Two Dogs" (German: Eine Geschichte von zwei Hunden). He is Murray I's nemesis and Poochini's grand vizer-turned-rival who wants to take his place as alpha dog. Thurston does not speak at all (just roars, growls, and snorts). In "A Dog Cartoon" he is voiced by Fred Tatasciore.

Appearance
Thurston is an English bulldog with dove fur, light dove tummy, muzzle and a black nose. He has a collar with a similar color to that of Poochini (in some cartoons it's black).

Personality
As his title suggests, Thurston is hardly one to share, impetuous and impatient with little desire to assist his fellow dogs. His attempts to get his way are fierce, and Thurston is an adversary willing to fight tooth and claw for his own comfort and survival.
