Skipper is the name of Willie Griffin's faithful Otterhound dog.
While playing with Skipper in a nearby open field, Griffin happens across Troy and Dillon's Vipers (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I"). Skipper later accompanies Griffin and his father, Walt, at night when showing his father the location of the Vipers. Upon returning to the location with a local sheriff, the Vipers are missing, but Skipper's barking alerts the Griffins to the fact that the ships are flying off, which the sheriff dismisses as explainable phenomena (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II").
Notes
- Skipper is not given his name in dialogue until the start of the first act in "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II".
