Spike and Tyke (characters)
Spike (occasionally referred to as Butch or Bulldog. Killer in one episode) and Tyke are fictional characters from the ''Tom and Jerry'' series, created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Spike is a stern but occasionally dumb American bulldog who is particularly disapproving of cats, but a softie when it comes to mice, and later, his son Tyke. In the shorts, Jerry would often try to get Tom in trouble with Spike making him a shoo-in for a beating from the bulldog. Spike has a few weaknesses that Tom tries to capitalize upon: his possessiveness about his bone and his ticklishness. He made his first appearance in the 1942 ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoon ''Dog Trouble'', and his first speaking role was in 1944's ''The Bodyguard'', where he was voiced by Billy Bletcher up until 1949, from which point he was voiced by Daws Butler. Tyke is known as a cute, sweet, happy and a loveable pup. He is Spike's son and they make the perfect father and son, with Spike spending much of his free time comforting his son, taking him out or teaching him the facts of life of being a dog. In ''Tom and Jerry Kids'', Tyke has a speaking role and was the first time that Tom and Jerry fans were able to hear Tyke speak.
==Early appearances==
In his very first appearance, ''Dog Trouble'', Spike is the main antagonist, chasing and attacking both Tom and Jerry on sight, even trying to eat Jerry, which forced the two to work together to defeat him. However, in his next appearance ''The Bodyguard'', after Jerry willingly saved him from being poached, he became Jerry's protector whenever needed. In all subsequent shorts, Spike becomes typecast as the stereotypical dumb brute who is always duped into becoming a shield for Jerry from Tom. It is only in two episodes where Jerry gets Spike out of a jam and the dog willingly protects him from Tom in well-earned gratitude (''The Bodyguard'' and ''Fit to Be Tied''). On most occasions, Jerry causes trouble for Tom by luring him near Spike and harming him to get him angry, and in some cartoons when it's perfectly obvious that Tom is not responsible, as seen in ''The Invisible Mouse'', Spike still blames Tom and hurts him instead of Jerry.
Spike, however, is not without a softer and sympathetic side: in the episode ''Pet Peeve'', after believing that Tom is willing to leave the house in Spike's favour, Spike feels sorry for him to the point that he offers to leave instead, which Spike does until he realises that Tom is only using reverse psychology to trick him into leaving. In ''The Truce Hurts'', Spike is portrayed as a very intelligent and equilibrated character when he convinces Tom and Jerry to stop the fighting among the three of them and sign a Peace Treaty, but their newfound friendship comes to an end when they argue over how to share a big steak, symbolised when Spike tears the truce contract to shreds and they go back to fighting again after Tom accidentally threw the steak into the sewer drain. From the 1942 cartoon ''Dog Trouble'' to 1948 cartoon ''Heavenly Puss'' he was voiced by Billy Bletcher. His name also varies in some shorts: in ''Solid Serenade'' he is named "Killer", and in ''The Truce Hurts'' he signs "Butch" on the treaty paper.
