His only consistent article of clothing is a red, spiked dog collar. His ears are pointed with pink insides and his tail is slender, small, and pointed as well.
In many cartoons, his fur is light gray, while his underbelly marking is white. Spike is a large bulldog with brownish-gray fur with a light brown marking that spans up to the front of his torso.
9 Cartoons featuring a similar bulldog to Spike (but designed differently). Spike also appeared in some of the recent cartoons featuring a basset hound called Droopy, another popular MGM cartoon character. After Spike beats Tom, he is shown having a good time or resting peacefully with his son Tyke and they are joined by Jerry their real saboteur, disturber, and culprit who was really the one that Spike should beat up. Spike proceeds to beat Tom up thinking he was responsible for it. Obviously, whenever Spike tells Tom not to do a certain thing, Jerry overhears this and does his best to get Tom in trouble (in the example, Jerry would get Tyke as dirty as possible). Spike has a grudge against Tom, not just because he's a cat, but because whenever they cross paths, Tom is interrupting quality time with his son, Tyke because he's too busy chasing Jerry to watch where he's going. He has a somewhat minor friendship with Jerry and is a formidable enemy to Tom, though he is occasionally a rival to both protagonists, as he was in the episode Dog Trouble. He's a grey, rough bulldog that appears in many of Tom and Jerry cartoons.
Spike Bulldog is the deuteragonist of the Tom & Jerry franchise.
