Phantom Blood
George Joestar I bought Danny when he was a puppy when Jonathan was five years old. Danny was very afraid of unfamiliar places and strange people causing him to bite Jonathan when the young boy first approached him. For a while, Jonathan also antagonized Danny by throwing stones at him. One day, while swimming in a river, Jonathan started drowning and was saved by Danny, which made them the best of friends.

When Dio arrives, he kneels Danny in the jaw while lying that he did it because he has been startled by the animal running at him. Weeks later, Dio retaliates for Jonathan beating him by placing the hound in the incinerator to be burned to death. When Jonathan learns of Danny's agonizing death upon his return, the dog buried in the backyard of the Joestar Mansion, he knows that Dio has a role in this. That night, Jonathan cries while laying awake in bed over losing his only remaining friend.
