description
Outwardly, Ralph Wolf is very similar to the figure of Wile E. Coyote . It has brown fur, a wiry body and huge ears, but - unlike the coyote - a red nose instead of a black one, (usually) white instead of yellow eyes and occasionally a fang protruding from its mouth. He also shares the coyote's appetite and persistent use of Acme Corporation products, but desires sheep rather than muggers, and does not have the upper-class accent or the selfish demeanor of the coyote when speaking. Another crucial difference is that of personality: Ralph does not have the coyote's fanatical urge to pursue his prey, but prefers to give up the hunt at the end of the working day.
Sam Sheepdog, on the other hand, is a tall, sturdy Berger de Brie (Briard) with white or light brown fur and a head of red hair that usually covers his eyes. He runs very rarely and tends to make movements that can be done while sitting. However, he has enough strength to knock Ralph out with a single blow once he has caught him.
It is typical that the two of them greet each other politely in the morning when they punch in at the time clock, then fight each other all day, and then politely say goodbye at the end of the day when they punch out.
