One of the most vivid images of Sublime's iconography is Bradley Nowell's famous Dalmatian, Lou Dog. Named after Nowell's grandfather, Louie Nowell, the mythology of Lou Dog was epic. He has allegedly bitten everyone from Gwen Stefani to the head of KROQ; was allowed to wander onstage during shows; and got featured prominently on album covers and injected into lyrics of many Sublime songs (“We took this trip to Garden Grove/It smelled like Lou Dog inside the van” from “Garden Grove”; “Livin' with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane.” from “What I Got”; “Me and Louie, run to the party” from “Doin' Time.”).
