Brutus and Tucker are supporting antagonists of Lucasfilm's 2024 feature film The Alsatian. Both Rottweiler and Doberman who were once believed to be strayers, mistaken by Kaiser and Hendrix while chasing and flirting with the homeless dog Meryem, but are later revealed to be Jim Percival's pet dogs who seeks revenge on Kaiser who was responsible for them to be captured by the dogcatchers and sent to the pound.
Background[]
Personality[]
They both share resemblance to Roscoe and DeSoto from Oliver & Company, who are also Dobermans. However, Brutus is the only one to be an Doberman, with Tucker being a Rottweiler, and to Buster from Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure who is even an a Rottweiler/Doberman Pinscher mix and the smug.
They are both even much of an inspiration to Alpha and Beta from Disney/Pixar's 2009 film Up, who are also Rottweiler and Doberman, and antagonists for the film who serve their master.
Physical appearances[]
Brutus is a blocky dog with massive heads. Ears lie fairly tight to the head, hanging down somewhat. Muzzles are square and strong, but rottweilers can be a bit drooly because of loose flews (lips). Rottweilers should always be black with tan points, and the ideal coat is quite short, dense, and a bit harsh.
Tucker is a Doberman pinscher has a long head and a sleek, muscular body. The ears are often cropped to stand erect, and the tail is usually docked short. The Doberman pinscher has a short, sleek and shiny coat that is black, dark red, blue or fawn with rust-colored markings on the face, body and tail.
