The Rainicorn-Dog Wars refer to a series of conflicts between the dogs and Rainicorns. In "Her Parents," Jake explains that it was a conflict over territory in the Crystal Dimension that lasted for thousands of years. It occurred recently enough for Bob Rainicorn to have fought in it.

Based on Jake's drawing of the war and the photo of Bob Rainicorn with the dog who saved his life, it seems that flying saucers were a part of it, and the dogs used laser guns. Jake's drawing also includes a mushroom cloud, which could imply the use of missiles or nuclear weapons as well.

It is unknown which side, if any, was the ultimate victor of the war, though Bob and Ethel Rainicorn currently reside in the Crystal Dimension.

In “Lady Rainicorn of the Crystal Dimension”, we can see the Rainicorns forming a rebellion against the dogs, led by Lady Rainicorn’s boyfriend at the time, Lee. He makes several comments including dogs not being used to Rainicorns standing up to them as well as not having to follow the dog’s rules. This implies that the dogs may have won and have, or at one point had, began governing the Rainicorns.

Trivia[]

  • In Bob's picture, the dog that saved his life is smiling and waving despite being in handcuffs.
  • It seems to be a reference to the Korean War as it occurred in the wake of a major global conflict (the Mushroom War as opposed to World War II) and it pitted a Korean-speaking faction (the Rainicorns as opposed to the North Koreans) against a predominantly Anglophone one (the dogs as opposed to the United Nations Command).
