Pooter (c. 1924 - November 13, 1927) is a fictional animal character in the Hey Arnold! TV Series.
He was a Scottish Terrier that Phil and Mitzi owned when they were kids, and whose death caused them to resent each other but he was also the reason they loved each other.
History[]
Phil and Mitzi loved their dog very much and would spend time with him.
While Phil and Mitzi were playing in the backyard, Pooter dug a large hole and got out. They looked everywhere for him and called his name. By the time they found him, he'd been accidentally hit by a Milk Truck. They took him to the Vet, but it was too late and there was nothing he could do. Pooter was put to sleep on November 13, 1927. Phil and Mitzi then buried him in the backyard.
Phil and Mitzi blamed each other for Pooter's death and stop talking to each other for 71 years, until Arnold convinced them to stop bickering, and accept that Pooter's death was an accident, eventually getting them to reconcile with each other.
