Krypto was a Kryptonian canine and Kal-El's Pet when he as a baby.
History:[]
Baby Kal-El had a puppy, who likely perished on Krypton.
Years later after the Black Mercy latched itself onto Superman, the man of steel began fantasizing of a life on Krypton where he was married to Loana-El and had a son named Van-El. Krypto was their pet who was adopted as an adult and the responsibility of Van.
