And I thought okay well we need to figure out a way to get an English sheepdog,” Cole explained. “Jughead’s dog in the comics is a dog called Hot Dog and he’s undoubtedly the worst part of the digests, hands down, he’s the scariest thing and really adds not too much but for some reason I was addicted to the idea of having an English sheepdog like he is in the comics and he was originally pitched as like a pit bull. But when Cole appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers and spilled about how he fought to find the perfect Hog Dog, the 26-year-old actor explained that the experience wasn’t the best. OK, so according to Roberto, there is possibly more Hot Dog scenes on the way that Jughead is a full-blown Serpent. Basically, when we got the dog, I said to Cole, ‘We’re going to try and make this work, but if this dog comes in and he can’t deliver as Hot Dog, we’re just going to do the scene without Hot Dog.’ And he was like, “That dog better deliver.” And the dog did great! You’ll be seeing more of Hot Dog in Season 2 for sure.” Will Hot Dog be in the show more? It was very hard to find a sheepdog in Vancouver who could deliver all of the nuance that Hot Dog required. “He really wanted a sheepdog to play Hot Dog. Roberto was ready to find a totally different type of dog, but Cole didn’t want it any other way, so they made it happen. He’s very passionate, and I’m glad Hot Dog is a sheepdog and that he’s now in our universe,” Roberto said. But you’re not reinventing Hot Dog.’ He had a really good point. TV adaptations reinvent stuff all the time.’ And Cole was like, ‘Fine. For me, I was like, ‘I don’t know if the Serpents are going to have a sheepdog. In a way, Cole is even more of a purist than I am, especially when it comes to Jughead and the Jughead mythology. The character was a fixture in the Archie Comics and his appearance on the show to begin with was all thanks to Cole’s insistence, something the showrunner of the series, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa told MTV all about. HOTDOG! Damn Ghoulies! No Serpent left behind? #riverdale He means something to all of the Serpents! So Hot Dog serves more as a mascot for the Serpents and isn’t just Juggy’s dog. So it was up to Jughead, Betty, Cheryl, and the Serpents to rescue him. Jughead as we know is now a full-blown member of the Southside Serpents and rival gang the Ghoulies actually captured poor Hot Dog and weren’t feeding him properly. Yes, that’s right, the dog has been on the show already! And in the Season 3 premiere episode, he was part of a rather intense storyline. So what about his beloved pooch? Jughead’s dog Hot Dog has appeared on Riverdale. Cole has most of these traits locked down already as we’re three seasons into Riverdale: his locks are always the perfect shade, he is rarely ever without that crown beanie, and he’s made it clear he’s always down to eat a burger at Pop’s anytime. OG Archie Comics fans know though there are certain criteria he needed to meet, like the famous crown, the dark hair, a love of burgers and his dog, Hot Dog. So you know this character is something special. This role literally got him back on our television screens after being gone for years since he and his twin brother Dylan decided to take a break from acting and go to college. It’s safe to say every Riverdale fans agree Cole Sprouse‘s version of Jughead Jones is one of the best parts of the show.
