Odie: A beagle who used to belong to Jon's former roommate Lyman (who never appeared on the show, but was a character who appeared in the earliest comic strips). Is often kicked off the kitchen table by Garfield. Looks incredibly stupid and gullible, but is actually much more cunning and smart than he lets on. Odie is the only animal character who doesn't communicate with any form of dialogue, solely communicating with body language and his enthusiastic barking and other dog sound effects.
Jon Arbuckle: Garfield's owner, a bachelor cartoonist who has poor luck with women and a somewhat nerdy demeanor. He is often annoyed by some of Garfield's antics, and also has an unrequited love for Dr. Liz. Whenever Garfield gets in trouble, Jon will punish him by taking him to the vet. Jon also has a mission set before him: get Garfield to do the right thing. Jon occasionally forces Garfield to hunt and catch mice, which is always unsuccessful due to Garfield's general liking of the mice in the house. Jon constantly forces Garfield to go on a diet. It is possible that Jon loves Odie more than Garfield.
Pooky: Garfield's teddy bear and sleeping companion. Found in a drawer, he has been Garfield's only toy. Garfield adopted his alter ego "The Caped Avenger" after temporarily losing Pooky.
Ladies and Gentleman, Garfield & Friends
Friends Are There
To Help You Get Started, To Give You A Push On Your Way
Friends Are There
To Turn You Around, Get Your Feet On The Ground For A Brand New Day
They'll Pick You Up When You're Down
Help You Swallow Your Pride When Something Inside's Got To Break On Through To The Other Side
Friends Are Someone You Can Open Up To
When You Feel Like You're Ready To Flip
When You Got The World On Your Shoulders

Friends Are There When You Need Them
Their Even There When You Don't
For A Walk In The Park, For A Shot In The Dark
Friends Are There
