Character 22 of 22

Pangpang

Pangpang is a real pug who walks in Green Park, and the only character on the roster drawn from a dog somebody already knows. He is grey through the mask and around the chin and entirely unbothered by it.

Pangpang holds the view that a hat is a small price to pay for the attention that follows one, and he has worn a great many hats. Minnie ears, a bobble hat, a dinosaur frill, a unicorn horn, once a fish. He wears each with the patience of somebody waiting for the part where the treat arrives.

He is older than most of the roster and walks like it, which is to say slowly and with a clear sense of where he is going. He is in Green Park, permanently, and he is not moving.
