Hook

Hook is an Ōu soldier and a former pet dog.

Appearance
Hook is white Labrador Retriever mix with dark brown patches and stitched scar on the left side of the nose and left cheek. He have red-brown eyes. He wears a black collar.

Personality
Hook is a quite calm, humble and polite dog.

He was mocked by the neighbour dog, Golvy, but didn't get too angry by it, since he is a former wild dog and understands things much better than his neighbour.

Hook is seen to be helpful and gave food and information to Weedand Lenny. However, he mentioned he does this due to his hatred towards Blue, Ned and Bell.

As a pup, he was manipulated by Blue and his minions to be loyal and steal for them. He was extremely bitter towards them after they killed his brother but he developed fear towards them as a pup and was unable to face them due to this.

Eventually, he gathered his courage thanks to GB and Weed. He also leaves his life as a pet, as he never liked it. He is very thankful for Weed and promises to come to help him if he needs him.

Hook is quite brave and not afraid to stand for what is right. Still, he admits he was a bit afraid when John was killed.

Manga
Hook was abandoned as a puppy and, together with his brother Kuro, he joined the three rogue dogs named Blue, Ned, and Bell for protection. One day, Hook’s older brother questioned Blue about stealing and got killed for doing so. Hook ran away and became a pet in the town nearby.

When Hook met Weed, he felt courage run through his veins. He decided to take part in the battle with the three rogue dogs to avenge his brother's death. He gathered other town dogs and launched on an attack.

His mission succeeded when Blue ran out in front of a truck and got run over. Afterward, Hook returned to his owner but decided to follow Hōgen’s minions out of curiosity when they come to town to round up dogs. Hook hoped to be of use and gathered important information for Weed. Here he met Sasuke, whom he found out was also on Weed’s side.

Hook was a witness to the murder of the German Shepherd, John, and decided to join Weed’s group to defeat the tyrant Hōgen. Unlike the anime, he follows Weed's group together with Reika (who had been freed by Hiro, John, Lefty, Rossi, and Tommy) and Sasuke throughout the manga on their journey.

In the Hokkaidō arc, he served as a back-up leader for Weed when they rounded up the dogs for reinforcements to battle Victor and save Gin's pack.

Anime
Formerly a pet, and a slave to Blue before that, he escaped and helped save Mer from Blue. He was working for Weed independently. One day, a month after the Monster's death, he was seen by Nero and was beaten by his dogs.

They kept beating him until Gin, John, and Akame came and saved him. At first, he mistook him for Weed, but realized that it was the father of Weed.

He was the one that told Gin about Weed, and helped Gin in secret during his imprisonment by Hōgen. He brought Reika to the hideout below Gajō after he witnessed John's death.
