Barkle

Barkle is Tingle's intelligent pet dog in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland for the Nintendo DS.

Tingle first met Barkle at Sunshine Seashore on the First Continent. When you first meet Barkle you can sell him all your bones for two rupees each and he will leave the area. When Tingle met up with the Skeleton pirates Barkle showed up and scares the pirates, giving Tingle acess to their boat and an opportunity to join the them. While exploring the Pirate's Hideout, Tingle is informed of a vicious monster attacking the cook's assistant in the kitchen. Tingle is sent to deal with the monster, only to find out that it is only Barkle. Barkle shortly after leaves the hideout.

Barkle follows Tingle home and stumbles upon the Rupee Tower, and is transformed into a Tingle version of himself. Barkle then chooses to live with Tingle. Giving Barkle bones will cause him to go out and fetch rupees and other items for Tingle.

Trivia
Barkle's Japanese name, Wankle, is derived from the Japanese onomatopoeia for barking, "wan wan", and the "kle" from Tingle's Japanese name, "Chinkuru".
