Goddard is one of the few inventions of Jimmy Neutron that actually works perfectly. Goddard can, according to Jimmy's dad, Hugh Neutron, do millions of things with the exception of cleaning up his own droppings (made of nuts and bolts). Along with the ability to shoot out laser beams he has, among other things a built in ray gun, lie detector, sound system, satellite radio, computer and clock. He can also change into a flying motorcycle. Goddard is portrayed as having the habits of a regular dog with the exception of his diet of metal and that when told to play dead he self destructs in a main core implosion (only to rebuild moments later). This was a flaw that Jimmy made a feature after finding its usefulness.
[edit] Trivia
- While Goddard has a mechanial bark, he can speak. In episode spoof of Frankenstein with the creation of Brobot, Goddard speaks Yes Master playing assistant to Jimmy's mad scientist. When Brobot & parents are captured by Junkman, Goddard speaks "OH Baby" like Charles Boyer to Junkman's dog Roxie. In one of the original shorts, Goddard, when told to speak, replied "Luke, I am your father."
- Whenever Jimmy is faced with a problem, he will ask Goddard for possible options. Goddard's chest then opens up (revealing a greenish screen) and displays said options. The first two are usually ridiculous, and the third one is sensible.
