7:28 PM 3/25/09 · So, Wednesday I made a post regarding Mr. Muggles and the fact there were no other animals in the show. Responses I got back revealed I may've been a bit too hasty in my estimation of this factor, was told there were a number of other animals in the show...
...or are there?
1st off, Mohinder had a lizard. Okay, I recall that now but don't you think it's interesting we haven't seen it since? Mr. Muggles probably snuck in there and gobbled it down.
Then there was Claude Raines' pigeons. Fair enough, there's pigeons everywhere in the world but other than in association with him I don't recall seeing them that often. I suppose it's possible he taught them how to turn invisible but as that doesn't seem so likely I'm going to have to go with the fact that Mr. Muggles tracked them all down and made them into kibble.
Matt Pakrman had a tortoise, which is a really odd choice for a spirit guide. Trying to walk after that thing to see where it led him was just so sad. If it were me I'd've picked it up and held it in front of me and hoped it could indicate where we were supposed to go by turning its head. We haven't seen it since Matt was grabbed by the still nameless government types (naming a building doesn't count as a listing) and I can just see the little orange fluffball dropping it in a pot and making it into stew.
I think that about covers it. Still find it more than a little creepy there hasn't been another dog anywhere in the series.
