About Dux (Dew-x) McCain
Dux is a rescued basenji and one of the co-hosts of As The Pokeball Turns, where different guests are interviewed about their experience with Pokemon. He is often found either curled up or sunbathing in the sun. He is responsible for ensuring David touches grass and takes his job very seriously. Known for his independent nature and inability to bark (Basenjis don’t do that), his expressive eyes speak volumes.
His favorite treat? Anything peanut butter-based, though he’s also a fan of coconut. Dux greatest skill is his ability to being a brat when he doesn't get what he wants. Dux brings the chaos when grass is not touched.
About Layla Jackson
Layla is a basenji, a retired show-dog, and one of the co-hosts of As The Pokeball Turns, where different guests are interviewed about their experience with Pokemon. She is often found relaxing in her kennel. She takes charge of making sure feeding time is always on schedule and is very particular about maintaining a consistent routine. She makes her dissatisfaction known when her scheduled meal is running late. Also known for her independent nature and inability to bark (Basenjis don’t do that), her expressive noises speak volumes on her approval of her living arrangements.
Her favorite treat? Anything crunchy. She shows indifference towards flavor and is more motivated by texture. Layla's greatest skill is her ability to be quick and run very fast!
