My Dog

From Homestar Runner Wiki

From the Pumpkin Carve-nival DVD commentary:

MIKE: Did he just call Pom Pom his dog?
MATT: Yeah, I think that might have been one of the first "my dog"s.
MIKE: You know, we were just talking about how we've been using "my dog" a lot recently.

Characters (usually Homestar Runner) occasionally refer to other people as their dog, which is slang for "friend".

[edit] Variations

• Email myths & legends — As Homestar was describing his first encounter with the Bear Holding a Shark, he began his story by saying, "I was in the woods, walking my dog, Pom Pom." In this instance, Homestar is referring to his friend literally as a dog (or, rather, mistaking him for one).
