Paw-Paw
is one of two chow puppies that Micheal owns. After the Independence Inn catches on fire, and Lorelai has to start laying off workers, she does not have the heart to lay off a worker named Frank. She then asks Michael too. He comes back and announces that he could not fire him, but he did get two little chow puppies. He names one of them Paw-Paw and the other Chin-Chin. After Chin-Chin's death, Michel is left with just Paw-Paw.
