Sine Qua Non
OK, the Jake featured in this episode looks to be a Border Collie with superficially similar markings, rather than the Landseer Newfoundland from New Caprica. Can anyone confirm? -- Mantavani 23:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. There's no way Jake is a Newfoundland. The build is all wrong. I'm taking it out unless I see an official source. --PhoenixHacker 05:18, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- No need to excise it entirely, when I've clarified this to note that the dog who played Season 3/New Caprica Jake is different than Season 4/SQN Jake. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 05:25, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Billy's Dog
I think we should mention here that Billy also had a dog named Jake? --Sauron18 22:51, 7 October 2006 (CDT)
- Jake will be a diamb. page once I finsh the BW:FA and BW:FP for this month. Jake (Billy's dog). --Shane (T - C - E) 23:14, 7 October 2006 (CDT)
- I had a dog named Jake, too, but he died in June. :( He was a very, very good boy. Thus, we salute New Caprica Jake, who is also a good, good boy. Wouldn't want to clean up after him on a spaceship, though. --Slander 14:14, 13 December 2006 (CST)
- Are we sure this isn't meant to be the same dog? Seems odd for the writers to give both dogs the same name. OTW 05:40, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
- I think it's clear they're meant to be the same dog, so I've put up a merge tag. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 07:05, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
- Disagree. Just going by the text, it seems that Billy's dog was old and/or sick and died before the Cylon attack. If the text is correct he "used to own" the dog. --Serenity 07:13, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
- I only just read the thing about the medication on Jake (Billy's Dog). In that case, they're obviously not the same dog. Removing tag. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 07:19, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

Questions
Where did the humans get Jake (was he on one of the ships when the Colonies were destroyed?), and did they take him when they left New Caprica? --DrBat 08:22, 28 October 2006 (CDT)
- I hope they rescued Jake. He was such <dog>A GOOD BOY YES HE WAS FOR LETTING PEOPLE KNOCK HIS BOWL OVER.</dog> --Spencerian 22:10, 29 October 2006 (CST)
- Okay, between his Pegasus prediction and this, apparently Spence's Chamalla stash has run out. :) --Talos 23:00, 29 October 2006 (CST)
