Who is Ivan Sharikov?
Ivan Sharikov owns the Paw Credit Bank — the same bank that turned Puppy Jay down as a high-risk borrower — and spends his nights at an underground poker table behind an iron door. There the newcomer wins a million dollars, goes all in and loses everything to Sharikov’s royal flush. The next morning the banker lectures the broke host on the level of wealth he calls “Go sniff yourself,” and lends him the money for the Count Barkula interview anyway, with a warning: unlike a vampire, he and his guys don’t need an invitation. A post-credits scene shows who was paying him all along: Woofisto.
Also mentioned in episode 23.

You can’t build a fortune on luck alone!
And unlike that vampire — me and my guys don’t need an invitation. We’ll just kick the door in!
Go sniff yourself!
