Mutt (along with his dog Junkyard) is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books and cartoon series. He is the G.I. Joe Team's dog handler (K-9), and debuted in 1984.
Mutt's real name is given as Stanley R. Perlmutter, and his rank that of Army Specialist SP-4 (E-4). He is a native of Iselin, New Jersey. His primary military specialty is dog handler and his secondary military specialty is infantry. On some occasions his rank is given as (Staff Sergeant) E-6.
Mutt's service record includes graduation from Jungle Warfare Training School, attachment to a cadre to the Special Ops School and a role as adviser to the Security and Enforcement Committee. Mutt is expert with the M-16, M-14, M1911A1 Auto Pistol and MAC-11.
Mutt is characterised as a natural with animals, who had several pet dogs in his youth, which he trained exceptionally well. The smartest of these was Junkyard, who accompanied Mutt into the army. It is suggested that Junkyard is more popular than his master, since he is friendlier than Mutt. Following the retirement from service of the initial Junkyard, his offspring Junkyard II - who is as loyal, smart, and well-trained as his father - is now Mutt's partner.
In the UK and European Action Force canon Mutt is listed as coming from Madrid in Spain.
Mutt, with his dog Junkyard, was first released as an action figure in 1984. The figure was repainted and released as part of the Slaughter's Marauders line in 1989.
A new version of Mutt and Junkyard was released as an action figure in 1992, as part of the DEF (Drug Elimination Force) line. The figure was repainted and released as part of the Battle Corps line in 1993. This version was repainted and rereleased a third time as part of the G.I. Joe Collector's Convention in 2004.
In 2004, Mutt and Junkyard were released as part of a Toys R Us exclusive "Anti-Venom Task Force" 6-pack. The story behind the Anti-Venom Task Force, is that they are G.I. Joe's response to Doctor Mindbender and Cobra Commander turning civilians into dangerous monsters.
