Who is Shark?
Shark is Puppy Jay’s financial advisor, inherited from Doxie Din along with the channel. Pleasantly formal and unflappable, he takes calls from an office under the sea and turns fake gold bones, heatwave fan prices and campaign blunders into brisk lessons on supply, demand and risk. Happily married to Mrs. Shark for 30 years, he can run a quiz show at a moment’s notice — and insists he only bites a little.

In their own words
Risky! But I respect the risk.
Oh, sweet summer child… The market doesn’t have empathy. It only has rules.
Okay, fine. I bite a little. But I do go to therapy.
Still full of ideas and financially unstable, I see.
