Les[1] is a greyhound racer who was the first owner of Santa's Little Helper.
[edit] History
After Santa's Little Helper lost on a Christmas Eve race at Springfield Downs Dog track, Les abandoned him in the parking lot and Homer and Bart took him in.[2]
When Santa's Little Helper became the new mascot for Duff Beer, Les came back and claimed him again to get the money that the dog was getting. Eventually, when a new face for Duff Beer was found, he let the Simpsons have Santa's Little Helper again due to him no longer being worth anything.[3]
[edit] Behind the Laughter
His name is not mentioned in the series, but the book The Simpsons: One Step Beyond Forever gives his name as "Les".
