"The Dog Talisman is best friend to man; it restores youthful energy to its holder and grants eternal life." |
The Dog Talisman is one of the Twelve Talismans of Shendu. After Shendu was defeated and his powers scattered, the Dog Talisman was hidden away.
Origin
When Lo Pei turned Shendu into a statue, the power of immortality separated from Shendu in the form of the Dog Talisman and was scattered all over the world.
It was discovered in a windmill in the Netherlands.[1]
Powers and Abilities
The user of the Dog Talisman gains the Power of Immortality, rendering them completely immune and resistant to otherwise lethal attacks/injuries. However, the Dog Talisman does not prevent the user from experiencing pain or fainting. For instance, Shendu was hurt by an electric cable, but the attack itself didn't cause any physical damage to his body. Oddly enough, the Talisman also prevents any form of noticeable damage to the user, as see by how Jackie suffered no burns from Shendu's fire and even his clothes remained undamaged.
The Dog Talisman also restores one’s youthful energy. This gave Uncle the ability to perform physical actions that his advanced age prevented him from doing. He could also eat foods, such as cheese, without worrying about constipation. However, it didn't physically rejuvenate his body during the short time he wore it.
When combined with the Horse Talisman's healing capabilities, the user became practically invincible to all forms of damage/diseases.

Trivia
- The fact that the Talisman's power provides longevity and immortality seems contradictory, as in real life, dogs age much faster than humans.
- It appears that the invulnerability granted by The Dog Talisman also extends to the clothing currently worn by the user, as Jackie and Uncle have survived fire blasts and heat beam eye blasts from Shendu with no damage to their attire.
- In the episode The Dog and Piggy Show, The Dog Talisman seems to grant its wielder considerable vitality in addition to invulnerability. However, in all subsequent episodes, anyone wielding The Talisman doesn't seem to show any signs of being any more energetic. Although, it could be that it only provides vitality if the wielder requires it, such as Uncle who lacked said energy due to his advanced age.
