How can you not love a face like that?
 
OMG hahaha that's great, no one noticed him..

Not only did Porthos never poo actual starfleet people never pooed either. No toilet, no doggy litter box.. there was that great waste product of an episode though where Porthos peed on a tree.

Was that the one where Archer took his dog down to the Planet of the Easily Offended? The set-up of the episde was just stupid, but Phlox was good as always, and I thought Archer's apology ritual was pretty funny.

Dr. Gillian Taylor: Don't tell me you don't use toilets in the 23rd Century.
Kirk: Well, we don't.

Starfleet perfected teleporting poo out of people before they mastered teleporting people, obviously. :p

Back when TNG aired I always figured replicator food was optimized so that no waste excretion was necessary. It didn't occur to me back then that would do bad things to one's digestive tract :lol:
 
Slightly OT, but our chow/black lab mix, Tribble, gave us 13 years of companionship and laughter. Plenty of Trek or other SF names to choose.

What a great name for a dog! Have a cat named B'Elanna, but she's not very bright and we joke she's the family pet tribble.

They should have done one scene, just one, where Porthos had a poo accident. Naturally, the best person to accidentally step into it would be Malcolm, giving him another reason to react to the less than professional ways the ship is being run.

Or Hoshi could put plastic dog poo outside Malcolm's door as an April Fools prank.
 
She used it as a visual aid when teaching languages to schoolchildren. It became her good luck charm, whenever she thought a workday was turning to shit.

Seeing Malcolm quietly put out by something was always a joy. Imagine if after stepping in Porthos's business a couple of times, he conceived that the captain's dog was a wiley arch-nemesis, perhaps even an alien agent trying to sabotage the ship (by undermining its security officer).
 
I thought a dog on the ship was a stupid idea from the beginning and kept hoping for an episode where the Klingons eat Porthos.

A dog on the ship is fine, and I could imagine it being great for the crew psychologically. What's stupid is taking it for walkies on alien worlds without checking the local wildlife is safe (Strange New World) and the local people won't be offended by it (A Night in Sickbay), or try to eat it (title missing).

A Night in Sickbay was actually a twofer, as Porthos not only offended some important aliens (by peeing on a sacred tree), but also picked up an alien disease (from the tree?).
