Rowlf
Rowlf is a Muppet character—a brown dog who plays piano and delivers dry, world-weary humor.
Created by Jim Henson, Rowlf first appeared in commercials before becoming a regular on *The Muppet Show*, where he performed musical numbers and traded quips with other characters.
His laid-back personality made him a fan favorite among the ensemble cast.
