Captain

Captain is the Schmidt family's pet fox.

History
Michael accidentally hit him with his car, badly hurting the fox. Michael took him to a vet to help heal him, and over time became attached to him. It was decided that Captain's leg was beyond repair, so it was amputated and replaced with a prosthetic one instead.

Eventually, Michael decided that Captain was too adorable to just get rid of, so he adopted him. Captain seems to be well-adjusted to his new home.

Personality
Captain appears to be an average domesticated pet. He's calm and appears a bit lazy. He makes a loud screeching noise when threatened, and likes to nibble on Michael's head.

Trivia

 * The back of Captain's collar has a note saying "Belongs to Michael David Schmidt", which Michael put there just so nobody could use the "I don't see your name on it" excuse.
 * It also mentions Chiquita by name. Michael is really good at guessing who wants to steal his fox.
