Tony Hamblett was born in the Peterson family, one in the litter of six. When he was three months old, he was adopted by Sally Hamblett, who worked with Blaize Peterson.

Tony is a well-behaved dog who likes to chase balls and butterflies and to watch television with his owners.

While not enamored of going to the vet, Tony does what is asked of him and has never given Sally cause to think she made a mistake bringing him into her life.

Except, perhaps, the reaction of her husband. Even the optimistic and tail-wagging Tony recognizes an enemy in his master.
