In The Tom and Jerry Show (2014) Episode ''' In the Beginning' At first, he was actually friendly to Tom when he arrived to the house, but quickly hated him ever since he framed him and got him kicked out of there by Ginger. However, his personality often gets blurred and easier to get angry when it comes to Droopy, mainly because Droopy always outplays Spike in the end. Whenever he gets into a fight with Tom or the other cats, he always relies on brute force like a muscular boxer, the fact that he is a bulldog, but is also wise enough to use items in he's environment to fight back when brute force is not an obvious choice. However, he is extremely warm to his son Tyke, whom he cares the most, as a duty of a father. In some part, he is openly arrogant to Jerry Mouse. Spike also dislikes majority of other cats as well. He doesn't hesitate to use force if he wants, and often cause Tom Cat to suffer. He is, in personality, extremely prone to anger and always critical.

He only fights male cats, but he can't fight female cats.Also since he is a dog, he has weaknesses such as bones, balls, and squeaky toys.This makes Spike somewhat easily deceived.

Spike is at times being manipulated by Jerry, into thinking Tom is responsible for some bad deed towards him, when he's in fact not.

He is good at fighting, and he is tough and strong. He can punch enemies, especially, punching Tom, and any other cat in the face. He has an anchored tattoo on his left upper arm as seen in Quiet Please!. His only consistent article of clothing is a red, spiked dog collar. His ears are pointed with pink insides and his tail is slender, small, and pointed as well. In many cartoons, his fur is light gray, while his underbelly marking is white. Spike is a large bulldog with brownish-gray fur with a light brown marking that spans up to the front of his torso.

9 Cartoons featuring a similar bulldog to Spike (but designed differently).

Spike also appeared in some of the recent cartoons featuring a basset hound called Droopy, another popular MGM cartoon character. After Spike beats Tom, he is shown having a good time or resting peacefully with his son Tyke and they are joined by Jerry their real saboteur, disturber, and culprit who was really the one that Spike should beat up. Spike proceeds to beat Tom up thinking he was responsible for it. Obviously, whenever Spike tells Tom not to do a certain thing, Jerry overhears this and does his best to get Tom in trouble (in the example, Jerry would get Tyke as dirty as possible). Spike has a grudge against Tom, not just because he's a cat, but because whenever they cross paths, Tom is interrupting quality time with his son, Tyke because he's too busy chasing Jerry to watch where he's going. He has a somewhat minor friendship with Jerry and is a formidable enemy to Tom, though he is occasionally a rival to both protagonists, as he was in the episode Dog Trouble. He's a grey, rough bulldog that appears in many of Tom and Jerry cartoons. Spike Bulldog is the deuteragonist of the Tom & Jerry franchise. For other uses, see the disambiguation page for Spike.
