Robbie was a talking robot dog built by the original Robotman.[1] During the Golden Age, he acted as a partner for the hero.
History
After Robotman had his brain transplanted into Chuck Grayson's body, he redesigned Robbie's appearance into a dog-like look and reprogrammed him to behave like an ordinary dog.[2]

Notes
- Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-Two era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985–86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and no longer apply.
