Breif Summary:

More than just your average quadraped, Ein is a genetically engineered "data dog", a superintelligent canine developed illegally by a shady corporation for unknown reasons. Though no one on the show seems to realize exactly how special Ein is, we see him do a variety of strange feats, opening car doors via control panels, answering video phones, etc, proving that he's more tha meets the eye. Ein first joined up with Spike and his crew in Session 2, "Stray Dog Strut". In which Spike rescued him from profit-minded petnapper Abdul Hakim. Even though Spike says he hates "kids and critters" he still goes out of his way to save Ein from falling off a bridge, which in turn led to the escape of Hakim, though he didnt get very far. Once aboard the Bebop Ein becomes a strange cross between a pet and a toy. Over the course of the series, the long suffering Ein is slept on, doodled on, forced to watch as Faye eats his dog food and generally picked on/tortured. Most of the time Ein can be seen following around/being commandeered by Ed, who he seems to like for no particular reason, especially since Ed does some of the strangest things of all to him. But through it all, Ein holds his head up high and just strives to be the best darn mascot he can be.
