Phoenix is a supporting character in Big City Greens. She is the Green family's pet dog.
History[]
Young Cricket gets Phoenix as a gift from Nancy.
One summer night, the Green family's barn burnt to the ground, and in the ashes laid a black puppy. After Nancy Green washed the puppy, it was revealed to be red. Nancy named the puppy Phoenix and gave her to Cricket Green as his first pet. Both Phoenix and Cricket grew up together, bonding with each other as they did. ("Phoenix Rises", flashback)
Prior to the Greens' move to Big City, Phoenix was most likely taken in by Gramma at some point since she was not seen moving there with the family.
Eventually Phoenix was unappreciated by Cricket one day since he was more focused on playing with Remy. During this, Phoenix suddenly catches an unknown scent and runs away from the Green house, disappearing throughout Big City prompting the Greens to search for her. She ends up outside Ruff Customers, where the scent is revealed to be Nancy who has recently been released from prison, and excited to find her. She is then given a ride back home where she reunites with Cricket, who promises never to leave her out again. ("Phoenix Rises", present day)
Appearance[]
Prior to "Phoenix Rises", she sports dark red/orange fur that appears rather scruffy looking. After said episode, her appearance was slightly tweaked: her fur was made slightly brighter and her eyes are seen more clearly.
Relationships[]
Cricket Green[]
As his first pet, Cricket loves Phoenix and becomes worried if something happens to her. This is best shown in "Phoenix Rises", as he is distressed over her disappearance, even crying when he and his family fail to find her. However, he is overjoyed when Phoenix returns, having brought Nancy with her. In the same episode, Cricket also mentioned Phoenix is his best friend prior to Remy, which made the latter feel many emotions..
Tilly Green[]
When Tilly can't sleep, she sleeps with her, as revealed in "Phoenix Rises".
Alice Green[]
In "Phoenix Rises", Alice is glad that there's someone older (Phoenix) than her in the house.
Nancy Green[]
Nancy found Phoenix as a puppy from the ashes of the burnt farm. After washing her, she found out Phoenix was actually red and gave her to Cricket as his first pet. She was also the one who named her Phoenix.

Trivia[]
- The name "Phoenix" comes from a mythical bird in Greek and Roman folklore, known for burning itself alive and regenerating from the ashes. This is a fitting name, since Phoenix was found alive and unharmed as a puppy in the ashes of the family's barn.
- "Phoenix" is also the capital city of the U.S. state of Arizona.
- Phoenix and Dirtbag are the only animals who didn't turn into zombies in "Blood Moon".
- She is as old as Cricket, making her 10 years old. ("Phoenix Rises")
- In real life, a dog's average lifespan is about 10-13 years or more.
- She was strangely not seen during the move to Big City despite going to live there with Alice, suggesting Alice took her with her sometime before the series began, most likely since she was too old to be of use as a proper farm dog.
- In "Dirt Jar", it was revealed a pickup truck took her and the animals to Alice's home in Big City.
- Phoenix's eyes are yellow, but when she was a puppy and adolescent, they were white. This is most likely due to her age.
- She can talk to other dogs as shown in "Cricket's Shoes".
- "Phoenix Rises" reveals she has a psychic link with Cricket, so he can tell when she's nearby.
- She talks in "Animal Farm" and "Homeward Hound", hinting the animals can talk while their owners are away.
- The only double-length episodes where Phoenix does not appear are "Blood Moon" and "Squashed!".
- "Trivia Night" reveals Phoenix can be calmed down if one says "relish".
