The Beverly Tails have a lot of fun, right? We sort of have to – we’re in the e-commerce business of being around the pets we all love. Cats and dogs and more.
However, for this particular conversation, we’re focusing on dogs. For fun. You know? And since we’re all still in a superhero rage with all the films we’ve been getting to see these days – Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, the upcoming Superman: Legacy, and even the recent DC’s League of Super-Pets – we have to ask the important question –
What kind of super-dog are you?
And it’s a valid question! Because there are a lot of them in our history of cinema, television and comics. But for the purposes of this, we’re focusing on three.
Starting with:
Bolt
Nothing says companionship like the fun-loving Bolt of Disney fame. A dog of unparalleled power, capable of being, well, a bolt of veritable lightning.
Speed is his game. His focus is his person, first and foremost. But without a doubt, Bolt can be haphazard with decisions for obvious reasons as technically this canine’s still a pup by comparison (at the very least, when side by side with the other two on this list).
In a way, you can compare Bolt to the Flash, Quicksilver or Dash from the Incredibles. He’s always eager. Willing to please. And won’t ever disappoint – sometimes to a fault.
But then we have….
Krypto, the Super Dog
Classic. Most might know of the iconic dog of Krypton himself, Kal-El’s very own pet – and quite honestly, this is a dog no one should mess with for obvious reasons.
Our yellow sun gives this guy unspeakably insane powers. You know, like Superman.
He flies, he has laser vision, he’s super strong, he can breathe cold frost, he has superior intellect similar to our own human levels of intelligence.
And he also has something called the solar paw punch (seriously, look it up).
But here’s the thing about Krypto. He’ll never do you wrong. The element of justice is strong with this canine. He’s about honor. A mimic of personality with Superman, we’d say, and rightly so.
So he won’t ever bully anyone. In fact, he’ll always stand up for the little guy. He’s not afraid to fight, though. And when he does, better watch out….
Which takes us to:
Cosmo the Space-Dog
Heading over to the Marvel camp, and we have this relatively obscure, but truly cultish Cosmo of the Guardians of the Galaxy, a spacedog finding his way to Knowhere in a far off galaxy to help run security there.
But he’s no ordinary “spacedog,” oh, no, no. Virtually “immortal” to a certain degree due to cosmic mutations, this is a dog who not only “talks” like a normal human being, but is a telepath and a telekinetic.
He’s basically a canine Jedi. No, for real. That’s what he is.
But the fact is Cosmo’s not a fighter. Never had been. He’s very much like Charles Xavier of the X-Men, possessing a mind capable of such force that with a thought, Cosmo can separate two superhero teams the same way Grogu of Disney could with the Force.
And that’s saying something. Yet as you notice, Cosmo does this without invoking violence whatsoever. In a way, you might say he’s a Soviet Union pacifist, unwilling to get his hands dirty.
But his mind is the true weapon. Don’t play mind games with him. He will mess you up bad.
So which one you think you are?
Are you Bolt? Krypto? Or Cosmo? Difficult choices, we know.
But the truth is it honestly doesn’t necessarily matter which one you are. There’s no comparison between all three. They’re all iconic in their own way.
In fact…. All dogs are.
