People who live with their pets consider them integral members of their families. Assuming this is true for everyone, let’s explore one member of the Rhodes family that fans are not that well acquainted with. Cody Rhodes reportedly owns two pets, both of which are dogs. However, their sizes differ considerably. While one canine friend is a large Siberian husky, the other is a white-furred Pomeranian called Pinkerton.
Since the little fellow hasn’t yet made his pro wrestling debut, for now, we shall focus on the big boy, Pharaoh. Just like the rest of the members of the Rhodes family, Pharaoh has also been introduced to wrestling fans. And now, we shall learn a bit more about him.

The American Nightmare has always been public about his husky. Fans would have known him through different social media posts. However, the furry family member had his big break in the pro wrestling industry during AEW All Out in 2019. Back then, Pharaoh was startled when one genius decided to light some firecrackers.
Rhodes appeared on WWE’s The Bump and spoke about the incident. He further mentioned, “He really has not flinched since then. He has not held it against me. He’s not mad. He’s truly man’s best friend.”
After the incident, it took Pharoah about four years to recover. And now, he showed up in WWE in June 2023. Not to mention how much the audience loved his little backstage appearance.
Pharoah’s public training suggests how much time Cody Rhodes has spent with him. It’s clear that the half-Cuban wrestler is aware of how much attention and activity his little canine buddy needs.
The fun fact is that the Rhodes family aren’t the only people who love the light blue-eyed angel. WWE fans made sure to give the canine a ‘pawsome’ welcome on his WWE debut.

The four-legged friend appeared on the Monday Night Raw episode of 06/26 this year. While the wrestler was feuding with The Judgment Day all night long, in one of the segments, he was seen petting his dog backstage. Pharoah was interacting with his best friend in a calm and adorable way.
