Biography[]
Max and Dinki-Di
Max Rockatansky first encounters Dinki-Di as a trained combat dog owned by Scabrous Scrotus, who brings it along during raids. However, after the combat dog is ordered to attack Max and fails to stop the Road Warrior, it is brutally kicked-off the Landmover by Scrotus as punishment.
After Max reawakens from the fight with the warlord, the dog chooses to stay with him. Moments later, it is captured by Chumbucket who intends to eat it. But after Max threatens the Blackfinger and recognizes him as the "Saint" sent by the The Angel of Combustion, he frees the dog, aids its wounded leg, and gives him the name Dinki-Di. The name coming from the canned dog food which is the only dog Chumbucket had ever seen before.
Later, when Stank Gum attacks Chumbucket's hideout, the dog is left behind. After Max had established a base in Jeet's stronghold, he returns to find Dinki-Di miraculously unscathed, bringing him back to his temporary stronghold.
