Krypto the Superdog (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | For years, the rocket bearing Krypto drifted through space, ultimately to arrive on Earth, where, like any native of Krypton, Krypto acquired super-powers like Superman's and was happily reunited with his beloved master, who was at that time a teen-ager growing up in Smallville in the home of his foster parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent. |
 | | In order to summon Krypto home from his distant wanderings, Superman either signals him by whistling at a highly pitched supersonic frequency which only Krypto's ears can hear, or else summons him by means of "super-ventriloquism," a ventriloquistic technique that enables Superman to throw his voice over exceedingly long distances. |
 | | Krypto, for his part, communicates with Superman by means of a special "barking code" - similar to Morse code - taught to him by Superman when the Man of Steel was a teenager. |
