The Dog Miraculous is a collar necklace that, whenever Barkk inhabits it, transforms the wearer into a dog-themed superhero with the power of Adoration.[1]
To activate the collar necklace, the user must speak the transformation phrase: "On The Hunt". To deactivate the collar necklace, the user must speak the detransformation phrase: "Lay Down".
The collar necklace is currently owned by Sabrina Raincomprix, who uses it to transform into Miss Hound. It was previously stored in the Chinese Miracle Box and only lent out to her when the situation required it.
In "Destruction", Gabriel used a laser machine to melt down the Miraculous into a pile of dust, and then reforged it into a special Alliance ring for transferring Barkk's power of Adoration to any Akumatized villain who wore a regular Alliance ring.
In "Re-creation", after Marinette Dupain-Cheng manages to recover all of the Miraculouses that were previously stolen, she restores the Dog Miraculous back to its original form and she gives it back to Sabrina permanently.
In general, the Dog Miraculous is a collar necklace. In its charged mode, when Barkk inhabits it, it is a black collar necklace with an open end. The tips of the edges are shaped like gray dog heads, with two rounded light brown bead-like objects next to each one. At the front of the jewelry, there are five light larger brown bead-like objects. If a minor is using the Miraculous, the necklace starts running out of power, they make a beeping sound, and the bead-like objects start discoloring one at a time as an indication of how much time (one bead is equivalent to one minute) Sabrina (or another Dog Miraculous holder) has left.
In its activated mode, the five beads are grey.
In its camouflage mode, the collar changes color and form depending on whose possession it's in:
The Miraculous' camouflage form when worn by Gabriel.
The Miraculous' camouflaged form when worn by Félix.
The Miraculous' camouflaged form when worn by Alix.
The Miraculous' camouflaged form when worn by Marinette.
The Miraculous' camouflaged form when worn by Chloé.
In it's reforged ring form, it was a thick band with a circle surface, similar to the Cat Miraculous, inside of it was the symbol of the Dog Miraculous which glowed caramel. It used to sit on the ring finger of Gabriel's left hand.
Abilities[]
The Dog Miraculous has the ability to transform its wielder into a dog-themed superhero, granting its wielder incredible powers of speed, endurance, agility, stamina and strength.
Its special weapon is an unbreakable ball, which can be utilized as both a weapon, a communicator, and an object that can be used to breathe underwater. Its special superpower is named Fetch, which gives the user the ability to fetch and return any arbitrary object that has been touched by the ball in order to obtain their goal, like defeating a villain. As long as the superpower isn't used, the wielder can remain transformed indefinitely. However, as soon as the superpower is used, the wielder loses power and the transformation wears off in about approximately five minutes. The collar also has the ability to give the wielder the costume they truly desire.

History[]
The Dog Miraculous was created thousands of years ago by an Unnamed mage.
At times a collar necklace is also called a dog collar, which is befitting as Barkk is the kwami of adoration and a dog wearing a collar means they have a home or an owner.
The transformation phrase "On the Hunt" is a reference to dogs hunting in packs to find animals such as rabbits and foxes in hunting seasons using their sense of smell and hearing or to find a lost person. The detransformation phrase " Lay Down" is a reference to dogs laying down to rest or relax.
The Dog Miraculous is currently the Miraculous with the most camouflaged forms seen in the show, with a total of six: Marinette's, Chloé's, Sabrina's, Félix's, Gabriel's and Alix's.
The Dog Miraculous matches Sabrina as its holder, as her father is a police officer, and they often use dogs in their operations.
