 Oy (Dark Tower) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oy is a "Billy-Bumbler", an animal which resembles a cross between a dog and a raccoon with a tail being described as "corkscrew in appearance".
Introduced in The Waste Lands, the third book in the series, Oy befriends one of the main character Jake Chambers.
This is, in fact, where Oy got his name; Jake, in the story, notices the creature near their camp and calls to it, "Come here, boy"---the animal, unable to perfectly copy the words, said "Oy" repeatedly, hence his name.

Jake's waking days begin to overlap with Eddie's dreams as the moment of his cross-over draws nigh, until their paths literally cross and Jake almost meets a younger Eddie (with his still-alive brother Henry).
Jake's passage to Roland's world is fraught with peril, but successful, and his crossing heals the wounds in their minds, if not necessarily their hearts.
Eddie and Jake are more fully fleshed out here, the former finally shedding the shadow of doubt that is his brother's legacy, the latter showing courage and intelligence beyond his years, without being precocious.

Ten feet between us any time we have ten feet to give, Pere — so Jake had said out on the sidewalk, and even as they approached the maître d's platform, Callahan was drifting to Jake's right, putting the required distance between them.
And the few who had begun to rise from their tables — the red holes in the foreheads of the low people gaping, the blue auras of the vampires seeming to pull in and intensify — sat back down again, and hard, as if they had suddenly lost command of their muscles.
Jake was moving and Callahan, mindful of what the boy gunslinger had told him outside — Make sure that every time I look on my right, I see your face — stepped back down from the table to move with him, still holding the turtle high.

Jake reappears here, displaying great resilience in crossing over from 1977 New York City to join Roland & Co. (As Susannah notes, "This time-travel business is some confusing shit.") They press on, plumbing the depths of a children's book that tells a profound and ancient tale.
Jake was introduced to the reader in Book One, "The Gunslinger." There had been a great paradox surrounding Jake's existence - the paradox of shifting realities.
Jake is captured and miraculously survives his trek through the underground world of Lud, and the acquaintanceship of some of the most unsavory characters King has created yet.

 The SF Site: Climbing the Tower Part Four: Song of Susannah
Susannah Dean, pregnant with a demon-child and possessed by a Delphian entity named Mia, flees End-World through an inter-dimensional door to birth her "chap." Her destination: New York City, summer 1999, where servants of the Crimson King have promised Mia safe harbor and care of the child after its birth.
Thwarting their intentions, the door splits them into two groups and flips their destinations: Roland and Eddie are sent to 1977 where they must locate a bookseller who owns a vacant lot sheltering an all-powerful rose, while Jake and Callahan are sent to 1999 to prevent Susannah's capture by minions of the Crimson King.
Catalyzed by his near-death experience, a recovering King turned to the completion of his greatest tale (started in the spring of 1970) plunging through some 2,000 additional pages and building the numbers 19 and 99 into an enigma as significant on the road to the Dark Tower as the Tower itself.

In our world, Jake Chambers (encountered in Book One) is going down the same path as Roland.
In The Waste Lands this technique is used effectively to show the complex division in Roland and Jake’s minds (as each is being driven insane by the conflicting realities of Jake’s death/survival in Book Two), as well as the physical division of our main characters, Roland, Jake, Susannah, and Eddie in the city of Lud.
It is up to Roland, Jake, Eddie, and Susannah to save their skins by appeasing the mad-machine through true riddles.

Beyond the town, the rocky ground rises toward the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is slowly stealing the community's soul.
One of the town's residents is Pere Callahan, a ruined priest who, like Susannah, Eddie, and Jake, passed through one of the portals that lead both into and out of Roland's world.

 The Dark Tower - The Waste Lands
As he did with the Loser's Club in It and the Ad Hoc Committee in The Stand, Stephen King dramatizes the forging of an unlikely community and highlights the deeply complex bonds that develop among the ostensibly dissimilar figures who are united under the ka-tet: Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake, and even Oy the billy-bumbler.
Standing at the point where the beams cross at the center of the world—or the center of all worlds—is the Dark Tower.
To effect this drawing, Roland and Jake must battle their own fraying psyches and achieve a reconciliation between their doubled memories regarding the paradoxical events (or nonevents) surrounding Jake's death(s).
