Tank, Forrester’s loyal dog, is often regarded as the show’s (and the fans’) most beloved character. Just what kind of dog is Tank?
Unless you’re not a dog person, Tank is probably already your favorite Fly Team member. We saw him assist Forrester in bringing down crooks with a word.
Animals are seldom featured in media. Those who do tend to rapidly come to see the dogs as the most beloved in the group. Take Cerberus (and now Pepper) from SEAL Team as an example. Also, there’s no denying how much we like Rex from Hudson and Rex. Many viewers of Chicago Fire are curious about what will happen on Tuesday.
The inclusion of Tank is a nice touch, but it has raised a lot of questions regarding what breed of dog Tank really is. The canine, played by Green, is called the team’s “trusty Schutzhund dog” in a CBS news release. That breed of dog, right?
FBI: Global: Could you please tell me what kind of dog Tank is?
Truly, Tank is a humongous schnauzer. The German word for “protection dog,” “Schutzhund,” perfectly describes Tank, as does the dog’s owner’s description of him in the press release. He’s on hand to provide the squad with an additional layer of defense.
An article about enormous schnauzers being used as police dogs in Europe was reportedly written by Dick Wolf and published in Parade. This was the springboard for introducing the dog character.
They have a strong reputation for loyalty and protection in Germany. Furthermore, giant schnauzers are very clever and possess strong territorial instincts.
Now that we have a dog on the squad, there is always one thing that must be done: guard Tank. That teammate of ours cannot possibly be harmed. That’s one way to make sure viewers tune out! You may take out anybody you choose, as long as they’re not the dog!
The dynamic between Tank and Forrester will be fascinating to see develop. There’s history between them, and eventually, it will come up.
