The dog was then confronted a bull, so he then ran back into the station, over the bridge to the other platform and straight into Thomas' cab where he stayed for the rest of the journey.

Biography[]
When Mutt sensed trouble after Mr. Conductor was having problems with his Gold Dust, he went with Billy Twofeathers to Lily's hometown, as he knew that Lily could help Mr. Conductor if she first met someone special at Shining Time. To reach that end, Mutt intentionally directed Lily onto the wrong train, which was the one pulled by the Rainbow Sun going to Shining Time instead of the train to Muffle Mountain.

Trivia[]
- In Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Mutt was portrayed by two British golden-doodles, Bentley and Dita. When in action, trainers stood off camera and gave verbal cues to get the dogs to sit, lay down, stand and stay. When Mutt is shown running through the crowded train station, one trainer doubled as an actor while the other stood off camera and held up a treat that Dita ran towards. The trainers put Mutt into the train so he sat and rode with the actors. In several scenes close up shots of Mutt’s face are shown reacting to something. These were all taken in one day, with a trainer holding up Bentley's favourite toy.
