Tan, Golden Retriever Dug with Molded Dark Brown Collar and Nose and Printed Eyes and Mouth Pattern

Dug is a golden retriever featured in the 2009 Disney-Pixar animated film, Up. He is a member of Charles Muntz's pack of dogs searching for a large, exotic bird in Venezuela.

Dug distinguishes himself from the other dogs due to a special collar invented by Muntz. This collar translates Dug's thoughts into audible speech, allowing humans to understand him. He is portrayed as naive, enthusiastic, and easily distracted.

Initially tasked with capturing Carl Fredricksen and Russell, Dug quickly befriends them. He is drawn to their kindness and a desire for companionship, which contrasts with Muntz's demanding and often cruel treatment of his canine pack.

Throughout the film, Dug's loyalty shifts to Carl and Russell. He plays a crucial role in protecting them from Muntz and ultimately helps them rescue the rare bird, Kevin. Dug becomes a beloved member of Carl's extended family at the film's conclusion.
