Now I got this from TV tropes but it makes sense. The belief that animals, like Porto the donkey, were the first to succumb to the disk nd betray the humans, indeed that Porto tried to destroy the town.

However is this true? Lets consider 2 things.

Who told us that the animals betray the humans, People like Ricky or the ghost of Gabriello Serra, who have been corrupted to the point that they were basically slaves to the evil entity.

Meanwhile the sitting room, the place where everyone who has been corrupted by the entity's good sides are trapped. Ya'know what's not there? The Animals.

In other words the Animals (save the Proff) weren't corrupted, they were the only ones who remained pure, and the evil entity was manipulating the others to turn the gang away from the animals, which it couldn't control.

If the animals did betray the humans then TV Tropes has a theory for why they betrayed them but Scooby didn't as well. Consider the main trait of each animals Bulls and Mules? Stubborn. Orangutans and Parrots? Smart. Skunks? Hot tempered. On the other hand consider what is the main trait of a dog?

Loyalty.

Stubborness, intelligence, hot temperedness? That can be twisted against the others, Loyalty? That can't be tainted.

Discuss.
