Answer
Spike
What is the name of the Pickles family’s dog? The dog is named Spike.
Spike is the Pickles family’s loyal dog in Rugrats. He lives with Tommy Pickles and his family and is especially protective of the babies, whom he treats as part of his own family. Tommy describes Spike as his best animal friend, making the dog an important presence even when he is not central to an episode’s plot.
Spike appears throughout much of the original series and becomes particularly important in the films. He helps protect the babies in The Rugrats Movie and Rugrats Go Wild. In Rugrats in Paris, he encounters Fifi, a stray purple poodle; the two become a couple and later have puppies.
The character’s breed is not a real-world dog breed. In the episode “Spike Runs Away,” it is identified as a fictional “Siberian Tiger Hound.” Viewers may also recognize different performers behind the character: Frank Welker voiced Spike in Rugrats in Paris, while Bruce Willis voiced him in Rugrats Go Wild.
