Chris and animals
Animals are defined as eukaryotic life forms of the kingdom Animalia[1]. In common speech, humans are not considered animals even though they do meet this definition. Non-human animals can be broadly divided into domesticated animals which are kept and raised by humans, and wild animals which exist independently from humans. For better or worse, Chris has owned countless animals such as dogs and cats throughout his life.
Notable Animals in Chris's Life
Patti Chandler
Patti was a dog of mixed breed, being part beagle and part spitz and member of the Chandler household from 1988 to [[2006] named for Saint Patrick's Day on which she was born. Chris was apparently very fond of Patti, claiming that he much time with her when she was alive, citing her death as a source of trauma comparable to losing a family member in 9/11, and making her the very first being to live on in C-197 after passing away in the real world. Despite this, when she was put down, Chris was not too distressed to draw Sonichu on the paper for Patti's euthanasia.
In Chris's fantasy universe, Patti joined Chris's Electric-Hedgehogs and other "heroes" as Patti-Chan, and would appear in several of the Sonichu comics.
Patti lived in a doghouse that weighed approximately 5 to 10 tons, according to Chris.
Clover and Snoopy
Clover was Chris's dog from March 2012 up until he was arrested in August 2021 and is confirmed to be alive under the care of Barb as of March 2024. Snoopy was her brother and Barb's dog until his death in July 2021. Ironically, Chris lost custody of Clover on the 9th anniversary of the dogs' being revealed to the public in a photograph he submitted into a local radio contest that was later uploaded to the CWCki Forums. Both beagles, they were named for a My Little Pony Tales character and the famous [Peanuts] star respectively.
Unlike Patti, the beagles lived inside the Chandler house alongside Barb's hoard. Chris recounted that once, he was playing with the dogs on a "mountain of clothes" that Snoopy fell from, permanently damaging his leg in the process.
