Pele is a small brown dog that resides in Soleanna in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). His owner is Pinto, a young boy who lives in Castle Town. Pinto cares for Pele very much, although he is perhaps not the most loyal pet, as he tends to leave Pinto's side and wander off occasionally.
History
One such occasion when Pele goes missing is in Sonic's story, and one of Sonic's Town Missions requires him to find Pele and bring him back to Pinto.
