Rockford the Dog
Songs & Audio
Rockford is a young, friendly brown dog with a crooked tail. He can’t remember why his tail is that way, but he thinks it’s got something to do with how he arrived at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
Rockford’s first owners hadn’t been very nice to him and for a while, he was very nervous around humans. But he loves Moog dearly but, as a young dog, he is still capable of naughtiness and runs off occasionally, but he usually comes back quickly.
But sometimes he deosn’t!
Story Role
Rockford is at the centre of the whole story… it is HIS Rock Opera after all! The first story begins when he gets the Cocklebur Ick stuck to his fur during a walk in Battersea Park. That one moment changes everything and leads to the extraordinary adventures on Infinity.
As the story unfolds, Rockford is both the reason events happen and an important part of them. Sometimes he’s leading the action. Sometimes the other characters are trying to help him. Either way, the adventure always seems to find its way back to Rockford.
Unlike almost everyone else on Infinity, Rockford doesn’t talk. There’s a very important reason for that… why do you think it is?
Rockford appears in two adventures: Lost on Infinity and The End of Infinity.
