Presented below are some detailed photos of a rare life-size puppet of Captain Archer's beloved pet beagle Porthos that was screen used in the memorable 2nd season Star Trek: Enterprise episode "A Night In Sickbay" (first airdate: Oct. 16, 2002); in which Porthos almost dies after exposure to an alien virus. This puppet features incredible artistic detail and is equipped with a set of internal air bellows to simulate breathing activity that are electronically powered via cables running from its stomach. The overall display includes a custom made medical quarantine tank and measures approx. 12.5" x 30" x 14.25".
