Pep

Pep is the deuteragonist of all "Putt-Putt" games except the activity and fun packs and the first game "Putt-Putt Joins the Parade". Actually, the first game is Pep's debut, and he only appears as a minor character. He appears in a cave unnamed when Putt-Putt enters (as he is petless and he wants to join the Cartown Pet Parade). Putt-Putt uses a bone (which he finds in the middle of mowing the first lawn he mows) to lure him in and gives him his name. In "Putt-Putt Travels Through Time", actually, he's a secondary character, because he is one of four things who gets sucked in Mr. Firebird's time machine. Ever since, he is the deuteragonist of the rest of the franchise, including arcade games
