Danny
Danny (ダニー, Danī) is a minor character appearing in Part I: Phantom Blood.

Danny is cheerful, given to active play with Jonathan.
Timid and fearful at first; when Danny saves Jonathan's life, George Joestar I reflects, "Is he not a splendid dog, who knows the value of a life?"
Abilities
On one occasion, Danny heroically swims out to Jonathan whilst he was drowning, bringing him by the collar back to land.
Synopsis
Phantom Blood
Jonathan's father bought Danny, still a puppy at the time, when Jonathan was five years old. Danny was very afraid of unfamiliar places and strange people. Jonathan and Danny did not get along for a while, which caused Danny to bite Jonathan. Jonathan, in turn, attacked Danny by throwing stones at him. One day, while swimming in a river, Jonathan started drowning and was saved by Danny, which made them the best of friends.
When Dio Brando arrived, he kneed Danny in the jaw and later put him into a box, planning to incinerate the dog. Danny was burned to death and buried in the backyard of the Joestar Estate. That night, Jonathan cried while laying awake in bed, remembering Danny's death.

Trivia
- In the manga Danny manages to escape from the incinerator as he burns to death, but in the anime this is only commented and not shown.
- In the Anime it is skipped completely how Jonathan met Danny and how Danny saves his life.
- In Steel Ball Run, his counterpart is a white mouse.
- Through coincidence, his facial markings are similar to Iggy, leading fans to believe that Iggy is Danny's reincarnation due to his connection to the Joestars and their goal to stop DIO.
