'''Wuffles''' was an extremely elderly wire-haired terrier, belonging to Lord [[Havelock Vetinari]]. Wuffles's fur was unkempt, and his teeth were broken. He had terrible halitosis, and spent much of his time sleeping deeply in a basket under [[Havelock Vetinari|Vetinari]]'s desk, in the [[Oblong Office]]. Wuffles was a very old-fashioned dog; he thought of Lord Vetinari as his God. Wuffles was very loyal, and would try to bite anyone who's a threat to his God, even though his teeth hadn't been much use for years. In the tradition of the best mystery novels, Wuffles, a dog who cannot communicate with humans in an ordinary fashion, was a key witness in a high-profile crime, in ''[[Book:The Truth|The Truth]]''.

Wuffles's first appearance was in ''[[Book:Sourcery|Sourcery]]'', where his loyalty to Vetinari even extended to the Patrician's temporary conversion to the form of a yellow-green lizard in a jar. Both dog and lizard were hidden for safekeeping by the [[Librarian]]. He also played something of a major role, as Second Canine Lead, in {{TT}}.

The sad news to report is that sometime between the events narrated in {{TT}} and the start of {{MM}}, Wuffles was escorted to the place where all good and faithful dogs inevitably go for eternal walkies. It had to happen: In {{TT}} Wuffles was 16 years old, which would make him over 100 years old in human years (according to the very suspect "1 year = 7 dog years" model). No doubt part of his conversation with [[Gaspode]] (which Gaspode has left uninterpreted) would have been a litany of complaints that puppies don't show you the respect they used to, these squeaky toys are not a patch on the squeaky toys we used to have in my day, call this a bone?, and these modern dogs who don't think of their God as being a God, show him the appropriate respect, why don't you!

Wuffles did make one more brief appearance, in the illustration of Lord Vetinari from ''Where's My Cow?''. As this image is a product of Sam Vimes' imagination, it does not necessarily prove that Wuffles was still alive at the time Vimes concocted his urbanized revision of the story.

We are told in {{MM}} that Wuffles has been dead for over a year, and is buried in the Palace gardens where Vetinari (a man who normally shows no emotion) religiously visits the grave weekly to leave a favourite dog biscuit (one of [[Trucklement's Yummy Assortment]]. But ''never'' the yellow ones, as Wuffles hated those).

It is said that after the death of a favourite pet who is almost a family member, a decent length of time should be left before contemplating a replacement. After over a year without Wuffles, Vetinari is now at this point. Now get a copy of {{MM}} and read on...
