From Wiki- Krypto, also known as Krypto the Superdog, is a superhero dog appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with the character Superman. In most continuities, Krypto is Superman's pet dog, usually depicted as a white dog of a generic pedigree. Krypto's first appearance was in a Superboy adventure story in Adventure Comics #210 (March 1955), and was created by writer Otto Binder and artists Curt Swan.[1] Originally intended as a one-off character, the dog attracted positive attention from the audience, and retur On Krypton, parallel evolution leads to the emergence of analogous species to Earth birds, dogs, cats, and simians.
They are domestic companion animals as they are on Earth. As explained
in his first appearance, Krypto is originally the young dog and
household pet of toddler Kal-El while they are on Krypton. Back to me:I learned of Krypto from the Superboy Filmation cartoon, and the comic books I got to read. Generally, they were reprints, but sometimes he was presented in new 70s stories. I love Krypto and Streaky. The other super pets I am rather indifferent to, though I don't hate them. I was very unhappy that Krypto got derezzed with the Crisis. Even John Byrne regretted that decision later on. I understood the decision, but the Super Family was so well known by the 80s that I doubt DC realized what the impact would be. At least Alan Moore got that right with Supreme!
