Squid Benjamin Harrelson was a canine graduate student in Chemical and Biological Engineering at Princeton. Despite having no previous academic or research experience, he excelled at the graduate level in both academics and department involvement. His research interests include applications of the maximum caliber principle to canine parasites.

Born in Los Angeles, there is no record of the first 3 years of Squid's life. At 11 pounds, his breed is suspected to be mixed pug and terrier. He enjoys shamelessly sleeping in class, belly rubs, and leaving his mark in his chosen field. With his winning attitude it's no wonder he is always the teacher's pet.
