Bartholomew

Bartholomew (casually referred to as ' Bart ') is the canine companion of Davy Jones. He is an Eastern-bred dog that is capable of human communication, as he is of the extremely minimal "lipflapper" population.

Bart travels with Davy Jones in hopes of finding the Planet of Pearl, which is capable of curing his master's terminal disease.

Personality
Bartholomew is more intelligent, collected, and reasonable than Davy Jones. When travelling with his human friend, he takes the role of the voice of reason, as he is capable of getting a message across without the risk of starting a fight or saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Bart is not a fan of taking risks and is specifically displeased with Davy Jones' reckless habits. He constantly pushes the idea of sailing in a real boat and shows large amounts of anger at Davy squandering what little money he has.

Bart doesn't like fighting and often tries to avoid conflict to the best of his ability, leaving all of the dirty work to Davy. He is very docile, having shown tolerance to being touched all over by multiple children.

Appearance
Bartholomew is a slightly fluffy dog that heavily resembles the Shiba Inu breed. His coat is described to be light tan to white in color, while his eyes and nose are black.

Typical Dog Features
As a dog, Bart has an excellent sense of smell and equally impressive hearing. He is also quick and elusive, enough to evade all kinds of attempts to harm/capture him.

Navigational Skill
Bartholomew is an exceptional navigator. He is able to pick up on weather patterns very quickly and thus can guide Davy's rowboat safely and with great precision.
