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, blissfully unaware of who her owner really is

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. The dogs liked to play on a "mountain of clothes" that Snoopy fell from as a puppy, permanently damaging his leg in the process.[2]

Fictional Animals in Chris's Life

The American Rabbit

The American Rabbit (actually named Robert Rabbit) is the lagomorph protagonist of the obscure 1986 animated movie The Adventures of the American Rabbit, which Chris was unironically a fan of during his childhood, even once declaring the filmmakers "REALLY SHOULD HAVE MADE A TV SERIES of him"[3].

He was also the first fictional character that Chris claimed to have looked up to as a hero, and evidently seems to have influenced Chris (or was at least one of his first influences, given his TV diet at the time) to profess beliefs in being True and Honest (whilst otherwise failing to practice what he preaches in real life) as well as triumphing over anyone he would perceive to be villainous just for going against his ideals. This position as role model would eventually be passed on to...

Sonic the Hedgehog

Chris, side-by-side with the (fictional) animal he cared about most

Sonic the Hedgehog is the lead character of a multimedia franchise created by Sega that has been ongoing since his first outing on the Sega Genesis in 1991. Chris was introduced to him through playing a demo of this particular game in a Sega Genesis display at the Charlottesville Fashion Square's Sears store that year[4] but what would truly solidify Sonic's place in his heart was his victory in the Watch & Win Sweepstakes in 1993.

Sonic went on to become arguably one of the biggest fixated interests Chris ever had in his life (next to Pokémon), culminating in the creation of Sonichu, both the character and comic for which he has since attained infamy as an online celebrity of sorts.

Chris has also expressed more loyalty to this fictional character than anyone should, admitting to Jackie that he used to be distraught whenever bullies claimed Sonic was dead[5] and even being infuriated by a non-canons spinoff altering Sonic's arm color to the point of vandalism in stores and narrowly avoiding imprisonment for assaulting a game store's assistant manager in the process of attempting to do so.
