'''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 [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] faux administration notifies the [[New Caprica Resistance]] of important information to be used to aid the group ([[Occupation]]).

Jake is also known to a copy of [[Number Three]], who is pleased with the fact that Jake doesn't care who is human and who is [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] ([[Exodus, Part I]]).

Jake's involvement with the resistance is known to President [[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 prior ([[Sine Qua Non]]).

==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 is a [[Wikipedia:Landseer (dog)|Landseer Newfoundland]]. Newfoundland's are known for their general lack of aggressive tendencies, and an instinctive ability to perform water rescues.
* Jake is named after [[Ron Moore]]'s [[w:Australian Shepherd|Australian Shepherd]].<ref>{{cite companion|page=42|season=3}}</ref>

==Sine Qua Non==
OK, the Jake featured in this episode looks to be a Border Collie with superficially similar markings, rather than the Landseer Newfoundland from New Caprica. Can anyone confirm? -- [[User:Mantavani|Mantavani]] 23:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

==Billy's Dog==
I think we should mention here that Billy also had a dog named [[Jake]]? --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 22:51, 7 October 2006 (CDT)
:Jake will be a diamb. page once I finsh the [[BW:FA]] and [[BW:FP]] for this month. [[Jake (Billy's dog)]]. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]]) 23:14, 7 October 2006 (CDT)
::I had a dog named Jake, too, but he died in June. :( He was a very, very good boy. Thus, we salute New Caprica Jake, who is also a good, good boy. Wouldn't want to clean up after him on a spaceship, though. --[[User:Slander|Slander]] 14:14, 13 December 2006 (CST)
:::Are we sure this isn't meant to be the same dog? Seems odd for the writers to give both dogs the same name. [[User:OTW|OTW]] 05:40, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
::::I think it's clear they're meant to be the same dog, so I've put up a merge tag. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 07:05, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
:::::Disagree. Just going by the text, it seems that Billy's dog was old and/or sick and died before the Cylon attack. If the text is correct he "used to own" the dog. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 07:13, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
::::::I only just read the thing about the medication on [[Jake (Billy's Dog)]]. In that case, they're obviously ''not'' the same dog. Removing tag. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 07:19, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

==Questions==
Where did the humans get Jake (was he on one of the ships when the Colonies were destroyed?), and did they take him when they left New Caprica? --[[User:DrBat|DrBat]] 08:22, 28 October 2006 (CDT)

:I hope they rescued Jake. He was such <dog>A GOOD BOY YES HE WAS FOR LETTING PEOPLE KNOCK HIS BOWL OVER.</dog> --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 22:10, 29 October 2006 (CST)
::Okay, between his Pegasus prediction and this, apparently Spence's Chamalla stash has run out. :) --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 23:00, 29 October 2006 (CST)
