Rowlf the Dog is a Muppet character, a scruffy brown dog of indeterminate breed, though part Corgi, with a rounded black nose and long floppy ears. He was created and originally performed by Jim Henson. Rowlf is the Muppet Theatre's resident pianist on the The Muppet Show, as well as one of the show's main cast members. Calm and wisecracking, his humor is characterized as deadpan and as such, he is one of few Muppets who is rarely flustered by the show's prevalent mayhem. He is very easy-going and a fan of classical music and musicals. He is claimed to be the Muppet most like Henson was in real life.
