Monroe Connery Boyd Carlyle McGregor Scott V, or Monroe for short, is Juniper Lee's enchanted pet pug dog that speaks with a Scottish accent and sounds similar to the eponymous ogre of the movie Shrek. He is a deuteragonist in The Life and Times of Juniper Lee.
He is voiced by Carlos Alazraqui.
History
He is quite educated in the world of magic, having been alive for several centuries and assisting each Te Xuan Ze for nearly that entire time. Despite his knowledge, his ability to actually use magic or magical devices is fairly limited, due to his lack of grasping hands or opposable thumbs (according to Ray Ray, he uses this as an excuse for everything). Monroe has been magically enhanced, allowing him to be understood by those who can see through the magic barrier. Anyone else listening to him will only hear barking. He is also lactose intolerant.
