The recurring target
Jacob Linkletter is one of the four central kids of Precocious. A 9-year-old mutt, Jacob is by far the most friendly and helpful of the main cast - as well as the most naive. This makes him a common target of friend and stranger alike, but he manages to endure the bedlam well and occasionally even trumps the other kids at their own devious games. A dedicated student and eager sports player despite his clumsy nature, Jacob lives with his parents, Deirdre and Harvey Linkletter, in the Sapphire Lake neighborhood of Gemstone Estates.
