Alice Rivard: an 11-year-old Siamese cat who is always looking out for her crazy puppies. She found Gavin orphaned when he was only 4 weeks old, and promptly began to treat him like her own kitten. Alice is the type of character that bad guys tend to underestimate, but they learn the hard way that she can hold her own. She’s friendly, maternal and a little bit badass. Everybody listens to Mama-Bear-Alice, even Gilbert!
Gilbert Ranger: Gavin’s 7-year old cousin: intellectual, composed, and self-important. He has a great love of chocolate-chip muffins. Gill is constantly dragging his cousin out of trouble and although he can be condescending and critical of Gavin and Gavin responds with resentment and spite, they do care deeply for each other. Occasionally, when they aren't busy hating each other, they share a friendly game of Hungry Hungry Hippos.
A note on nicknames: He prefers to be called Gilbert. He will answer to Gill or Bert if you must. "Gilly" is utterly unacceptable and unless you are his mother he will probably hit you.

Jennifer Sawyer-Bennet
Chase’s girlfriend and mate-to-be, a 5 ½ year-old King Charles spaniel. Jenny is feisty, playful and good at reading other people. She refuses to talk about her previous relationship or the father of her twin puppies, but Chase doesn't press the issue. She is quick on her feet and has a tendency to keep secrets and also to panic. She’s an affectionate mother and an emotional anchor for Chase when he needs one most, but like Gavin, she’s got an adventurous side!
Riley and Mitchell Sawyer
Riley and Mitch, age 1, are Jenny's fraternal twin puppies. They don't know who their father is, but they happily call their mother's boyfriend "Dad" instead. Chase has a hard time bonding with his would-be stepchildren, but he tries his best and they love him for it. Riley is adventurous, loves horror movies, and has a knack for getting into trouble. She hates baths, being pet by humans, and anything she considers "boring grown-up stuff". As you can imagine, she gets on splendidly with "Uncle Gavin". Mitch is creative, soft-spoken and fond of hot-dogs. He's easier to handle than his sister, and enjoys spending time with Alice while his parents and Gavin run off on adventures.
