Spunky is a fictional character in the cartoon series Rocko's Modern Life and the comic book series of the same name.
Spunky (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) is Rocko's dog. Though not explicitly stated on the show, he is a Miniature Bull Terrier. They did say in the very first episode where Rocko gets a credit card, the guy at the dog bowl store calls him a wippet. Spunky emits foul odors, eats trash, drinks his saliva, and rolls in and eats Ed Bighead's salmon bushes, causing Mr. Bighead to feel annoyed. Nickelodeon Southeast Asia's website described him as "loving" and "loyal."
Spunky is a studio album released by Monty Alexander in 1965 on Pacific Jazz LP record ST-20094 (stereo) and PJ-10094 (mono).
