The Amazing Adventures of Dog Mendonça and Pizzaboy!/Characters
Dog Mendonça
João Vicente "Dog" Mendonça is a boisterous fat, football-loving, womanizer, kinda dumbe AND portuguese Occult Detective who protects monsters from humans or otherwise who had broken the code (the code is the fact that monsters don't reveal themselves to the humans). He's always accompanied by Pazuul his assistant, it seemed the two had already dangerous adventures before (such as beating Loch Ness). Pizzaboy meets him to help him find his bike stolen from a bunch of Gargoyles. Eventually this is the beginning of a beautiful freindship.
