Mungo is a recurring character in Housepets!. His first appearance was a cameo at King's wedding before being properly introduced in Real Stories of the K9PD.

He is a member of the K-9 Unit and was previously partnered with Fox.

Physical Appearance[]

Mungo is a large, muscular, black dog with a lightning bolt tag who strongly resembles Satau. His most defining feature is his incredible strength, causing him to accidentally destroy property or crush others when he hugs them. He has light orange eyes.

Personality[]

Mungo is easily excitable, loyal and generally has a friendly attitude. Despite his immense strength and intimidating size, he is compassionate and caring, given his background as a therapy dog. He usually tends to go about matters in a very optimistic way, usually not questioning when supernatural events occur.

However, Mungo does take his job seriously, and is obligated to follow the duties of a police officer. Despite Fox breaking protocol during his first case with him, he still cares for him and the two made up and are still close friends, with Mungo even offering to help Fox with his anger issues in his off-time, such as trying to give him actual therapy.

General Information[]

MungoCameo

Mungo's first appearance

The first time Mungo is seen is as a cameo during King's wedding, as he is seated among with the rest of the K-9 Unit.

Mungo was properly introduced after Ralph assigns the newly recruited Fox to investigate the attempted assassination of Keene Milton, accidentally breaking down the door to the debriefing room. His strength is further put on display when he nearly crushed Fox after giving him a hug. Mungo had originally been a member of the S.W.A.T. team, but they decided he was a "cost liability" due to the property damage he causes. It is clear Fox does not take a liking to Mungo at first, as Mungo inadvertently embarrassed Fox by mentioning Fido's exposed relationship to Sabrina.

The two began their investigation of the limo Keene was nearly drowned in, and after coming up with a few clues, they head to a donut shop where they discover security footage of Sasha Hartford at the scene of the crime. While Mungo wants to bring her in for questioning, Fox wishes to keep her from being implicated and begs him to let him talk to her first. The two interrogate members of the Good Ol' Dogs Club where Mungo proves his strength once more by letting Boris hit him in the stomach--his abs being so hard they injure Boris' fist. The two receive information from Daisy that Sasha has been seen hiding in the woods, and are led to Jessica's den to do a stakeout--but Mungo gets stuck in the door. The two finally catch up to Sasha, and she blatantly admits that she committed the crime. After Zach frees Mungo by causing him to sneeze with his cotton tail, he leashes both Fox and Sasha to take them back to the station.

Fox tries to reason with Mungo that Sasha is not in her right mind, but Mungo intends to take Sasha in anyways; Fox breaks protocol by freeing himself and escapes with Sasha. Mungo chases the duo to Tarot's house (again breaking down the door by accident) where Tarot proves Sasha's innocence by smashing her head with her crystal tablet, undoing the hypnosis she was under. While Mungo is impressed, he still leashes Fox to take back to the station.

While Keene's attempted killer is caught, Fox is reprimanded by Ralph and put on leave for his actions. Later that Christmas, Mungo visits Fox at home and Fox apologizes for his actions--Mungo even offers to help Fox through his issues off-time (as he is a therapy dog) and the two are invited to a Christmas party held by Sabrina.

Mungo is seen afterwards applying to babysit King's pups; King is initially is impressed that Mungo is overqualified, but the offer is retracted after Mungo accidentally breaks the table trying to sign the form.

Later on during the temple raid, Peanut falls through a trap and into a spike chasm. Before Peanut lands on the spikes, he is saved by Mungo wearing goggles allowing him to fly (and causing Peanut to mistake him for Satau). It has been revealed he has joined Tarot and Sabrina's team along with Fox to traverse to the bottom of the temple to prevent Keene from using the mana pool there. Mungo also indirectly stresses out Res by admitting that he's a huge fan of Pridelands and that he's expecting the final book to meet all of his expectations (not knowing Res is the true author.) Mungo reaches the bottom along with everyone else, but is quickly defeated by The Forgotten, a lava demon that appeared after Breel accidentally opened a portal in the mana. However he is healed by Squeak, and eventually everyone escapes the temple with the help of Dallas. He later is seen comforting Fox after Spring and Summer leave for Heaven and leave Fox alone.

That winter, Keene blocks the street with a giant hot spring; the K-9 Unit is called in to arrest Keene. Fox, Fido, Kevin, and Mungo enter the hot springs (in their birthday suits) to find him. Mungo is the only one to wear a bathrobe, as he gets nervous around people. While everyone else gets distracted by various means, Mungo discovers Keene in a diving room and goes to call for back-up, but realizes he has no radio on him. However, a blizzard soon comes in, freezing Fido who went out to get a radio in a block of ice, and trapping everyone in the hot springs. Later Mungo joins Fox in a private bath and sheds his robe in front of him, greatly embarrassing Fox. Mungo then tries to play footsie with Fox and accidentally injures him. Later he's seen giving Fox a massage, but after he offers to perform "acupuncture" with his nails, Fox jumps and clings to the ceiling. The sting operation is eventually completed, but Ralph reprimands the K-9 Unit for ignoring their mission to loaf in the hot springs. He tries to cuff Mungo, but Mungo inadvertently snaps the cuffs with his strength, even though Ralph admits the cuffs were merely symbolic.

Later, after a human boy and his girlfriend are turned into animals, Fox and Mungo are called in to arrest Herman Steward, who had been turned into a badger after the events of the temple raid, as it was discovered he was responsible for their transformations. Mungo tries to capture him, but Steward claws Fox's face and escapes into the woods.

During everyone's visit to heaven, Mungo appears during Fox's "therapy" session (stranded on an island with Spring and Summer); attempting to offer him more conventional therapy. However this only annoys Fox; to the point where he throws a coconut at Mungo's head. However, after Fox gets a pep talk from his older self, Fox invites Mungo to go down all the water slides with him--despite Mungo's reservations if Fox has adequately dealt with his issues.

Trivia[]

  • Mungo has been implied to be a descendant of Satau, and it's a bit of a running gag in the comic that Mungo resembles Satau and is implied to be related to him, some examples include:
    • When Sabrina asks where he's from, he states that his parents are from Morocco, but his family is all over North Africa.
    • In Temple Crashers 2: Temple Crasherser, Peanut mistakenly believes Mungo is Satau after the former saves him, as his flight powers greatly resemble Satau's (with the only difference being his armour is yellow while Satau's was green.)
    • Natalie, who had formed a crush on Satau in Housepets 5000 BC, Part 1, dresses Mungo in Satau’s body jewelry in 12 Days of Housepets!
  • Mungo had not been introduced and therefore wasn't tagged during his appearance in Here Come Da Bride until after the site update (in which he debuted).
  • While his breed was originally unconfirmed, it was later independently verified that Mungo is a Pharaoh Hound, given his Egyptian background and sharing the same large pointed ears.
