- "Ripper just pines when I'm away"
- — Marjorie Dursley[src]
Ripper was a pet bulldog who was owned by Marjorie Dursley. The dog whined while Marjorie was away, resulting in her taking him if she went away on trips (i.e. to visit her brother at Privet Drive).
The dog had at one time chased Harry Potter up a tree in the Dursley's yard after the boy had trodden on his paw. Harry was stuck there until Marjorie called him off after midnight. Marjorie also has the habit of sharing table scraps with him, such as licking the plate or licking Brandy off of her glass.
