Is Prunella a poodle or a rat? 74.33.174.133 01:30, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * She is a rat, as stated here: http://www.pbs.org/parents/arthur/help/answers/faq_friends.html?cat=faq



I'd like to clear up some speculation about Prunella. She is clearly a poodle. Her ears are in similar style to Binky's ears, albeit slimmer because of her slim stature. And it is know that Binky is a bulldog. Her snout is the correct shape to be a poodle's. She has no whiskers either, and it is stated on her Wikipedia page that she is in fact, a cream-colored poodle. Compare her with Mr. Ratburn. Mr. Ratburn's ears and snout are correct for a rat, and he has whiskers. Clearly, Mr. Ratburn is indeed a rat, however, Prunella fails to fit the bill. Iteachvader (talk) 23:46, April 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Why does everyone think Wikipedia is a perfect, all-knowing site? It isn't. It is user-edited, just like Wikia. The Wikipedia article must be corrected.

For what reason, may I ask? It honestly makes no sense claiming that she's a rat when she hasn't the correct appearance of one. That site stated above isn't much better than Wikipedia, since you seem to dislike Wikipedia so much. I'm 100% positive that if I asked Marc Brown himself what animal Prunella is, he'd verify her as a dog. Iteachvader (talk) 02:18, April 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * If she had buck teeth, would she look more rodent-like? 5000 Explosions and a Supernova (talk) 05:54, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

I would rather put my faith in a PBS article then some page on another site that ANYONE can edit at will. That's my take on this.   IT'S ME IT'S ME IT'S MC CJ  | Talk  . 05:59, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

You see, it's a PBS article; written by people who aren't creators of the show. There's an extreme margin for error there. I'm going to try to contact Marc Brown and clear this up myself, I'm very sure he'd verify. Would that make a difference? Iteachvader (talk) 14:22, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Done it already, none of us received a message from him since mid 2012 (concerning some different matter). If you do contact him and the issue is resolved then it will be changed.   IT'S ME IT'S ME IT'S MC CJ  | Talk  . 19:04, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Well, there's no harm in trying. Where there's a will, there's a way. Iteachvader (talk) 20:49, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

I once heard that saying from a cartoon show, 12 years ago. I still have doubts any contact will be made, because of none of us have made contact with him since last year. You could try any way.   IT'S ME IT'S ME IT'S MC CJ  | Talk  . 21:30, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Is prunella still a main character? She hasn't said anything sense season 15! Plus, I've gotten used to all the other character's new designs, but prunella seems even more odd... SuperMarshmallow 19:01, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

I've finally found a way to contact Marc Brown, and have sent him a message kindly asking him to verify whether Prunella is a rat or a poodle. Now only time will tell... Iteachvader (talk) 18:58, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

I've gotten verification from Marc Brown himself that Prunella is indeed a poodle! This is the link to his Facebook page where he responded to my comment. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=465823863509923&id=385632154862428&comment_id=2860089&offset=0&total_comments=1&notif_t=feed_comment I request to have Prunella's page to be edited to reflect this, thanks.
