  Character Marvin is asassy two-year-old Coton de Tulear with a taste for the finer things in life. Adopted by two broke college kids, he quickly realized their budget doesn’t quite cover his high-maintenance needs, like his beloved spa days. Dramatic and sharp-witted, Marvin took matters into his own paws, launching Marvin’s Bark & Co., a high-end dog accessories brand. While he often appears aloof and unimpressed with his owners’ attempts at care, beneath the attitude lies a fiercely loyal pup determined to live a life of luxury—preferably alongside his humans, once they figure out how to keep up.
