Biography
Dog Logan was a male human who was the son of Thomas Logan where he lived in the late 19th century. (Origin v1 #1) Born in 1882, 'Dog' was the son of the groundskeeper of the Howlett Estate. His father gave him the nickname, and treated him as if he was a dog, beating him often. In his youth, he played with James and their friend Rose on an almost daily basis. One Christmas night, John Howlett, Sr. noticed that his son James was too preoccupied by his new puppy to care about a toy train he had also received. In an act of charity, he decided that Dog would enjoy the toy more. Upon returning home with his first Christmas present, Dog’s father discovered the gift, and beat him horribly for accepting charity from the Howletts. While roughhousing near a body of water, Dog once accidentally knocked James, who could not swim, into it. Dog saved James, and James’ father forgave the incident, stating, “Boys will be boys.” James’ grandfather, on the other hand, believed that Dog should be taught a lesson for being so careless and convinced his father to beat him when he returned home.

After growing up around her, Dog developed feelings for Rose, but lacked the ability to show it. He did what he was accustomed to, and attempted to force himself on Rose. He failed, as James happened upon them and distracted him, saying he'd run off and tell his father. Rose then managed to smack Dog and get away. Mr. Howlett asked Thomas to discipline his son. Dog then later attacked James for ratting him out, and his pet dog rushed over and bit Dog, resulting in Dog killing it. Mr Howlett then fired Dog's father. In a surprising turn of events, Thomas did not blame Dog this time, but instead blamed 'Soft John' (James' father) for raising such a wimpy son. Highly disgruntled, he and Dog headed to the Howlett Estate with rifles to talk with his former employer. (Wolverine: The Origin v1 #2)

Notes
- Dog Logan was created by Bill Jemas, Paul Jenkins, Joe Quesada and Andy Kubert where he made his first appearance in Wolverine v2 #166 (September, 2001).
- An interviewer asked Paul Jenkins if the character Dog Logan was Sabretooth. Paul Jenkins said he had not intended it to be him, but said he wouldn't have a problem with another writer doing it later. Despite that no writer has yet written a story that Dog is Sabretooth, fans have been spreading unfounded rumors on the internet about Dog and Sabretooth. Sabretooth and Dog have similar characteristics and traits, both are big caucasian males with similar appearances, both enjoy killing, both have grudges against Wolverine, both have abusive fathers, and both possess excellent tracking skills. With no proof, fans are only able to imply or infer their ideas from these supposed similarities.
Alternate Versions
- In Wolverine Noir v1 #1 (2009), an alternate version of Dog Logan appeared in the Marvel Noir reality that was designated as Earth-90214 in the Multiverse.
