“	That thing… CatNap… The Prototype is his god… and this is what he does to heretics.	”
— DogDay in Chapter 3 Gameplay Trailer 1

DogDay is a toy produced by Playtime Co. who will debut in Chapter 3: Deep Sleep. He resides in Playcare with the rest of the Smiling Critters line-up.

Appearance

DogDay is an anthropomorphic orange-furred dog with black eyes, floppy ears, a black nose, and a yellow outer mouth and belly. His paws and ears, along with the left side of his face, have a copper-red color. Similar to the other Smiling Critters, DogDay is depicted with a wide toothless grin (the inner mouth shrouded in darkness), and he possesses a black zipper line running down his center, with the zipper sporting a gold sun pendant with orange sun rays.

DogDay’s cartoon appearance is roughly the same as his toy appearance, albeit with his zipper line removed, the addition of white pupils, and the zipper pendant now attached to a black necklace.

The Bigger Bodies version of DogDay takes on a ragged and costume-like appearance. He has large black stitches connecting his right arm to his body, and, like CatNap, his black pupils have white irises. He wears iron shackles around his arms and a belt around his waist.

Personality

“	This is DogDay, the sunny, strong, and determined leader of our critters! Each trusts him to find the bright side in any situation, and to have a friendly word of encouragement should they feel down. He'll always keep his friends going, no matter what.	”
— DogDay's Twitter/X description

According to his Twitter description, DogDay is the trusted leader of the Smiling Critters gang. As shown by his pendant, DogDay has a sunny demeanor, always looking at the bright side of things and encouraging others in their time of need. Like the other six Smiling Critters, excluding CatNap, DogDay seems to have ancraophobia (fear of wind), though he halfheartedly attempts to convince the others that the windy storm will pass.

Once CatNap shows up at his house, however, DogDay takes on a more unnerving and sinister personality. He shows signs of insanity, addiction, and mania when inhaling CatNap's sleeping Poppy Gas, laughing hysterically with the others until he passes out.

Little is known about DogDay's Bigger Bodies counterpart, but given his line in trailer 1, it's safe to assume that he does not follow nor believe in The Prototype, and subsequently at odds with Catnap. DogDay also seems to be very wary of the latter, afraid of what he will do, or have already done to heretics such as himself. He is also later seen desperately chasing the player throughout the playhouse, showing that his time being tormented by his former friend has a taken a toll on his sanity.
