Heffer Wolfe
Heffer Wolfe is Rocko's best friend. Hef is a steer who was adopted, and raised,
by wolves. He has many hobbies including eating, rollerskating, eating, skiing,
eating, watching tv, and oh yes, eating. His boyish innocence and naivety often
put him at odds with his street savvy best friend Rocko. However, as his
intentions are always good and his heart pure, all is always forgiven. Although
this friendship is often tested, Heffer and Rocko exemplify the ultimate in
cartoon "role-models" for any friendship.

Spunky
Spunky is Rocko's faithful dog. He was left on Rocko's doorstep when he was just
a pup. When Rocko found Spunky there, he christened the shirt style he was
wearing as lucky. Rocko is seldom found not wearing this style of shirt for this
reason. Spunky passes his days sleeping, eating, and innocently getting into
mischief at Rocko's expense. Occasionally possessed, or lost, he symbolizes the
epitomy of man's (marsupial's) best friend.
