Rusty McCracken is the sound effects man (or foley guy, as he's usually called) at station WFIDO. He appears in the Dog City episode "Radio Daze," where it's revealed he's been with the station for 30 years and has never missed a day. The Scots-accented Scottie provides all of the sound effects for the radio serial It's a Dog's Life, a task which leaves him out of breath. While he's justly proud of his fine work, Rusty is embittered by the lack of credit afforded him (station owner Styles Silverbark doesn't even know who he is, and nobody appears to know his name until he reveals it).
