What is the name of Spike the bulldog's son?

Spike the bulldog’s son is named Tyke. He is a small, affectionate puppy who appears with his protective father in a number of Tom and Jerry stories.

Spike was initially a rough, often unnamed bulldog who attacked Tom, but the introduction of Tyke gave the character a gentler family dimension. Spike becomes especially angry when Tom frightens, harms, or disturbs his son. Their relationship is usually warm: Spike comforts Tyke, teaches him, and proudly encourages him with his familiar “That’s my boy!” attitude.

Tyke is generally silent in the main Tom and Jerry theatrical shorts, communicating through barking, yapping, whimpering, growling, and body language. He later speaks in Tom & Jerry Kids, making that series different from the classic cartoons. A related spin-off, Spike and Tyke, produced two theatrical shorts in 1957. Tyke should not be confused with other one-off dogs or with Spike’s occasional alternate names, Butch and Killer.
