*Strummer- A flea who lives on Scruff, and often provides him with advice. He plays the guitar, and once lived on a circus dog.
*Peter- Scruff's owner, he shares a lot of personality points with his pet. He dreams of being in a circus.
*Uncle Ron and Aunt Lil- Peter's aunt and uncle, the owners of Tolosa Farm. They are a standard, alomost stereotypical, farm couple.

*Miaow- Uncle Ron and Aunt Lil's pet cat. He has little love for the dogs on the farm, especially Scruff.

*Haunty Hound- The 300-year-old ghost of a hound dog, he haunts the farmhouse cellar. Only Scruff, Strummer, and later, White Socks, are aware of his existence.
*Holly- Peter's girlfriend, a kindly and down-to-earth person. She is sometimes irritated by Peter's impulsive behaviour, but deep down, loves him very much.

*Buttons- A mushroom vendor, who tries to make money through any means, legal or illegal.
