Jake is a dog residing in the fleet of survivors escaping the fall of the Twelve Colonies and on New Caprica. During the 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 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 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").
