| Cesar's Co-Stars: Profiles of Pack Members – Popeye
Popeye had a tough time before he arrived at the center. His owners used him in illegal dog fights, which eventually resulted in the loss of his eye. After that, they had no more use for him and abandoned him.
Popeye felt vulnerable due to his narrowed view of the world, so he became increasingly suspicious of other dogs. He attempted to intimidate them by approaching them very aggressively, which would almost always result in a fight. And then he started attacking people.
A rescue organization found him wandering the streets of Los Angeles. They had trouble handling him, so they brought him to the Dog Psychology Center. When he arrived, he was pushy, dominant and high-strung. Today, he’s a mellow, trusted member of the pack, and no one gives him a hard time because he only has one eye!
Popeye was recently adopted and can be seen in the episode Power of the Pack from Season Two.
