Rowlf the Dog

Rowlf the Dog is a Muppet character, a scruffy brown dog of indeterminate breed with a rounded black nose and long floppy ears. He was created and originally performed by Jim Henson. Rowlf is the Muppet Theatre’s resident pianist on The Muppet Show, as well as one of the show’s main cast members. Laid-back and wisecracking, his humor is characterized as  deadpan and, as such, he is one of few Muppets who is rarely flustered by the show’s prevalent mayhem. He is claimed to be the Muppet most like Henson was in real life. (Wikipedia)
