Question
Jeannie and her dog

What is the name of the dog on "I Dream of Jeannie"?

Last updated: February 4, 2026

When a sitcom starts running out of ideas, one of the oldest tricks in the book is to just add a pet. "I Dream of Jeannie" spent four seasons following an astronaut and his 2,000-year-old genie before someone decided the show needed a magical dog. What is the name of the dog on "I Dream of Jeannie"?

Correct Answer: Djinn Djinn

Jeannie's dog might've held a grudge against uniformed men for 2,000 years, but I'd argue his anger should've been focused on Jeannie for essentially naming him "Genie Genie." Imagine if your parents named you "Person Person" in Spanish, and that's the treatment Djinn Djinn got (but in Arabic). The dog only appeared in four episodes, including his final appearance where Major Healey found pregnancy pills and assumed Jeannie was expecting. No, Djinn Djinn was just having puppies with a poodle... duh.
