This incarnation of Krypto was born into Pocket Universe, a singularly created universe which was developed by the Time Trapper. That universe was part of Trapper's scheme to control the Legion of Super-Heroes after the Earth-One Superboy was wiped from existence due to the effects of the Crisis on Infinite Earths and replaced with the current Superman who was never costumed Superboy. Krypto was Superboy's kryptonian dog.
History
When the Legion and our Superman traveled to the Pocket Universe, they were confronted by its Superboy. Judging Superman as a threat, Krypto tried to help his master, but the superdog was not able. Krypto came back to Superboy's secret laboratory, and catches a gold kryptonite container. Willing to use it against Superman, the dog acidentally exposing itself to its content, and became permanently a ordinary dog without any powers; as its super-intelligence vanished, it forgot what was doing.[1]

Notes
- This version of Krypto, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022-2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
Trivia
- It is unknown if this Krypto version also possesses a Doghouse of Solitude, "Skip" alter ego, or if belonged to Legion of Super-Pets and the Space Canine Patrol Agency.
- Though it's probably unlikely, since the Time Trapper made absolutely certain that no other superpowered beings or extraterrestrials would exist in this dimension.
