Who is Puppy Jay?
Puppy Jay is a real dachshund, born in 2020, who hosts Sunday Puppy Jay and the Pawcast on the Doxie Din YouTube channel.
In the show
Puppy Jay is the host and heart of Sunday Puppy Jay, the world's first Sunday dog talk show, which he sketched on a bar napkin after his big brother Doxie Din retired and handed him the channel. A self-described "small, sensitive, slightly dramatic dachshund" with a graying chin and three identical suits, he is impulsive, kind and a dog of his word. He is sure he's "the best in the business" — until one mean comment sends him to therapy. He writes piano songs, dreams of a stage where the whole world can see him, signs contracts unread, hates cardio, loves toilet water, and keeps chasing the next big story, from ancient tombs to the sheriff's office.

In their own words
I… hate… cardio…
No, I am a dog of my word! I promised them two seasons.
I forgive… but I never forget!
My name is Puppy Jay — and I’ll see you next Sunday!
I’ll give anything — for my friends. Just bring her back!
