Byron Basset

Byron

Byron Basset is a fictional character from the Warner Bros. animated television series Tiny Toon Adventures. He is a basset hound who is a pet of Elmyra Duff. Byron was voiced by Frank Welker. Although a direct connection is never made, Byron resembles Sam Sheepdog and The Barnyard Dog from Looney Tunes. Despite being depicted as being a lazy mongrel, he expresses many talents when properly motivated. Byron is most known for his somewhat malleble nature. In order to turn around, he pulls his head and tail inside the folds of his body, and out the other side.

Byron's biggest role was in perhaps the direct-to-video movie Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation. There, he accidentally ends up joining Buster and Babs Bunny in their subplot of getting caught up in a river after a water gun fight. Near the end of the film, when Byron sees that the bunnies are surrounded by predators, he flies down and carries them to safety.
