Background notes: Jock is one of the supporting characters from the original cartoon
Lady and the Tramp from 1955. Even though his role was small he played an important role as one of Lady's friends and one of the dogs who saved Tramp from the dogcatcher. Like the other characters from
Lady and the Tramp, Jock did not transfer to the Disney TV-shows like
DuckTales and
Mickey Mouse Works, and did not occur in cartoons until
Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's adventure from 2001. In the first cartoon his voice was done by Bill Thompson who also did several other voices in that cartoon and in the second it was Jeff Bennett who, like Thompson, also did several of the other voices in the cartoon.
With the comic book adaptation of the cartoon, Jock was given his first comic book appearance. It was however with the introduction of Scamp's adventures he became a strong supporting character.
Being a character in the immensely popular
Lady and the Tramp merchandise with Jock was inevitable, though is hasn't been much. Mostly it has been figurines and pins.
