Never heard of him?
Horror and crime comics took the worst of the hit and virtually disappeared overnight.

before using Batmans chest emblem as an impromptu bat-signal to communicate with their faithful canine companion.
Sadly, it wasnt to be.
It would prove to be the canines final adventure.
Incoming editor, Julius Schwartz, jettisoned the pooch from the pages ofBatmanfor good.
Bat-Hounds fall from grace was complete.
The crime-fighting canine has appeared a few more times throughout Bat-history, but usually out of continuity.
Presumably, he didnt get his own dressing room or stylist either a humbling experience for the once-great icon.
A Highbrow Christopher Nolan reboot maybe?
So where now for Bat-Hound?
Plus, young Bruce Wayne in that show is a lonely, terribly sad young person.
Someone kindly get that boy a dog.
Perhaps the best (and most fitting) return for Bat-Hound would be in the pages ofBatman.
So there you go.
Lets start the grass roots movement right here!
Expect to see Bat-Hound attending A-List parties faster than you’re free to say shake a paw…
