| | '''Jake''' is a dog on [[New Caprica]] that has a yellow bowl. The bowl serves as an indicator flag for a dead drop. When this bowl is flipped over, the [[Felix Gaeta|inside source]] within the Baltar administration notifies the [[New Caprica Resistance]] of important information to be used to aid the group ([[Occupation]]). |

| '''Jake''' is a dog residing in [[The Fleet (RDM)|the fleet of survivors escaping the fall of the Twelve Colonies]] and on [[New Caprica]]. During the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] occupation of New Caprica, his yellow food bowl serves as an indicator flag for a [[New Caprica Resistance]] dead drop. When this bowl is flipped over, an [[Felix Gaeta|inside source]] within the puppet administration of President [[Gaius Baltar]] notifies the Resistance of important information to be used to aid the group {{TRS|Occupation}}.
| |
| | |
| Jake is also known to a copy of [[Number Three]], who is pleased with the fact that Jake does not care who is human and who is Cylon {{TRS|Exodus, Part I}}. | |
| | |
| Jake's involvement with the resistance is known to President {{callsign|Lee Adama}}, who calls him a hero of New Caprica. As his previous owners could no longer care for the dog, Adama gifts Jake to [[Romo Lampkin]] after he discovers that Lampkin's cat, [[Lance]], died weeks earlier {{TRS|Sine Qua Non}}.
| |
| | |
| Jake is seen being walked by Lampkin aboard ''Galactica'' when Adama appoints him President of the Colonies {{TRS|Daybreak, Part I}}. He presumably leaves ''Galactica'' with Lampkin and settles with him on New Earth, although he is not with Lampkin when the surviving humans move out to their new homes {{TRS|Daybreak, Part II}}.

| ==Notes==
| |
| * Jake is not the only living animal from the Colonies appearing in the [[Re-imagined Series]] to date. Rats and bats are seen on Caprica. For more on other life forms mentioned in the series, see [[Life Forms of the Twelve Colonies]].
| |
| * The dog used to portray Jake in [[Season 3 (2006-07)|Season 3]]'s [[New Caprica]] arc is a [[Wikipedia:Landseer (dog)|Landseer Newfoundland]]. Newfoundlands are known for their general lack of aggressive tendencies, and an instinctive ability to perform water rescues. However, a different breed of dog is used to portray Jake in [[Season 4 (2008)|Season 4]]'s "[[Sine Qua Non]]".
| |
| * Jake is named after [[Ron Moore]]'s [[w:Australian Shepherd|Australian Shepherd]].<ref>{{cite companion|page=42|season=3}}</ref>
| |
| * According to actor [[Mark Sheppard]], who plays Romo Lampkin, Jake is the ancestor of all modern dogs.<ref>[http://io9.com/5336914/in-defense-of-romo-lampkin--and-his-mitochondrial-dog]</ref>
