'''BowWow''',<ref>{{Cite Text Dump|LADX|447}}</ref> also stylized as '''Bow Wow''',<ref name="Kids">{{Cite Text Dump|LADX|622}}</ref> is a character in {{LA}}.

BowWow is one of [[Madam MeowMeow]]'s three pets, being the biggest of them and the only one kept outdoors. Like the [[Chain Chomp]]s of {{ALttP}}, BowWow charges at [[Link]] when he approaches, although he is completely harmless. When Link comes back from [[Toronbo Shores]] after completing [[Tail Cave]], a pair of boys near the [[Village Library]] will inform him that BowWow has been kidnapped by a gang of [[Moblin]]s.<ref name="Kids"/><ref>{{Cite book|quote= When you return from the Tail Cave, you'll learn that Moblins have kidnapped {{Typo|Madam MeowMeow}}'s precious pooch.|book= The Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening Player's Guide|publisher= Nintendo of America Inc. & Tokuma Shoten Publishing Co., Ltd.|page= 32}}</ref> Link can go to [[Madam MeowMeow's House]] in [[Mabe Village]] only to find her panicked and begging for help.<ref name="Dognapped"/>

In {{LA|DX}}, after Link has returned BowWow and has met the [[Photographer]], he can stand next to BowWow and let the Photographer take a [[Photo]] for [[The Travels of Link]] that he will name "[[Link Plays With BowWow]]".<ref>{{Cite Text Dump|LADX|35}}</ref>

* A sign near the western entrance of [[Goponga Swamp]] tells adventurers to keep out due to the imminent danger that the Swamp represents, except for BowWow.<ref>{{Cite Text Dump|LADX|506}}</ref> This is because he is the only one able to eat the [[Indigestible Flower]]s that are present in the Swamp.

His name is mostly a reference to the sound he sometimes makes when barking.<ref>{{Cite Text Dump|LADX|134}}</ref>
