Shep is a smug dog villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games. He is the only smug dog in the series. His name comes from "shepherd dog," which is reflected by his catchphrase.

In New Horizons, Shep has the education hobby and can be seen wearing rimmed glasses, reading a novel while outside, and using a magnifying glass when near certain objects.
