Meet the Characters
Here's a list of some of the important people you'll see in Wishbone.
- Wishbone the dog
Wishbone is a far-from-ordinary Jack Russell terrier who's also the star of his own show! He lives in the city of Oakdale with his owner Joe Talbot and just loves classic literature - and eating.
- Joe Talbot
Wishbone's owner and best friend, Joe is 14 and in the 8th grade. Whether they're going for walks in the park or digging up a time capsule, he and Wishbone are nearly inseparable.
- Ellen Talbot
Joe's mother, a friendly reference librarian who also writes in her spare time. She's the one who buys Wishbone's snacks. Where whould he be without her?
- Steve Talbot
Joe's father, who died of a blood disease when Joe was only six. While he was alive, he coached the basketball team at Oakdale College.
- Samantha (Sam) Kepler
One of Joe's best friends. Sam's parents are divorced, and she lives with her dad Walter most of the time. According to Wishbone, she's the best head-scratcher in town.
- David Barnes
Joe's other best friend. David is a math and science whiz who loves nothing more than building robots, doing experiments, or working with his computer.
- Wanda Gilmore
The Talbots' slightly eccentric next door neighbor. She's always there to lend a helping hand - but she just hates it when Wishbone digs up her flowers. He's still trying to figure out why...
- Damont Jones
Damont is Oakdale's resident bully and all around not-nice guy. Whether it's framing David or embarrassing Sam, he's rarely up to any good. His friend Curtis is his partner in crime.
