The dog in The Tale of the Bunny Picnic was referred to simply as "Dog" (by The Farmer) or "The Dog" (by the bunnies) throughout the story. Though good-natured heart, he is told to fetch bunnies for the Farmer's stew. He is not very intelligent and has a habit of confusing his body parts, referring to his brain as his elbow and his nose as his toe.
At the end of the story, the bunnies decide he needs a real name. Bebop names him De-Dop-De-Diddly-Dog Bop.
This puppet would appear in several future Henson projects, usually in group shots. It was used for Undercover Rover in Muppet Time. A cameo in Kermit's Swamp Years, The Muppets at Walt Disney World, and "Secrets of the Muppets."
