Puppy (Empath stories)

Puppy is a dog owned and cared for by the Smurfs in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. He was originally Homnibus' dog who went by the name of Homni-One, and carried a special locket on his dog collar that contained the key to all magic. The locket is protected so that only one person is able to open it -- which turns out to be Baby Smurf -- while all others who try to open it will be zapped with a lightning bolt. Puppy is generally friendly towards all, but is very protective of the Smurfs and will refuse to let Gargamel or any evil person or entity get near them.

Puppy first came into the village at the same time that the Smurflings came in from Smurfling Island to look for Baby Smurf. At first Papa Smurf thought that Puppy had run away from his master Homnibus, but as it turned out, the human enchanter gave Puppy as a gift to the Smurfs in the hopes that they would be able to take care of him and give him a proper home in the village.
