Santa’s Little Helper (born May 12, age 7), also known as No. 8 (his number in the dog race in Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire), Suds McDuff (the name he changed to after becoming Duff Beer’s mascot in Old Yeller-Belly), and Santa’s Stupid Name (Brian Griffin’s nickname for him in The Simpsons Guy), is the Simpson family’s dog. Santa’s Little Helper has been with the Simpson’s family the whole series instead of dying or simply not making multiple appearances like how other animals in their care have.
Oddly for a domestic dog, he has been shown to still be alive thirty years in the future, as a highly evolved canine with a large cerebellum (“Holidays of Future Passed”) and a creature stitched together out of pieces of both he and Snowball II, in which form he is known as “Santa’s Little Hybrid” (“Days of Future Future”).
He is a greyhound with light brown fur. His rib cage is visible possibly because of being malnourished, but this isn’t due to any form of neglect as the Simpson family is seen feeding Santa’s Little Helper the proper amount of food and, on some occasions, too much. Greyhounds are also this thin in real life. His paws aren’t detailed and only appear to be legs that end at a nub. His ears are in an arched shape.
