Bowser is the hulking, slow-witted assistant handyman to Bruno on Dog City. First appearing sporadically in the show's first season, Bowser became a regular thereafter, helping or often hindering his boss. In Eliot Shag's cartoon series, Bowser's counterpart is Bruiser, equally slow-witted nephew/henchman to Bugsy Vile. Bowser's species appears to be a St. Bernard.
Bowser's puppet is essentially the same as that used for Mad Dog on the original Dog City pilot of The Jim Henson Hour. In some appearances, he even wears Mad Dog's outfit.
