[edit] Biography
The puppy was given to young Henry Jones, Jr. by his parents. Jones had such affection for the Alaskan Malamute that he took the name on as his own growing up.[3]
Together the pair performed scientific experiments, seeing if they could break the land speed record, or how to get to the moon.[4]
After the death of Anna Jones, Henry Jr. and his father took Indiana with them to Utah in 1912.[3]
Indiana later died of old age in April 1916, presumably at the Jones home in Princeton, while Indiana Jones had left for Europe to enlist in World War I.[1]
[edit] Behind the scenes
- Indiana was the name of George Lucas's own dog, and was the original inspiration for the name of the Indiana Jones character.
- Young Indiana Jones and the Secret City, set in 1914, states that Indiana died saving Jones' life from a rattlesnake.

[edit] Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Indiana Jones: The Ultimate Guide
- ↑ The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones and My First Adventure both have young Indiana Jones refer to Indiana as male. However, in Travels with Father, young Indiana Jones refers to Indiana as female. It is possible that as a child, Indy believed Indiana to be male, until it was revealed later to him, sometime before traveling to Russia.
