Throughout the book the family tame numerous animal companions. The children form bonds with some of these, including the Jackal, Fangs. Over the course of the story, some of these animals have offspring that also become part of the family. Coco is one of the descendants of Fang. Jack names him Coco because he believes the name will be easy to call at a distance. All of this is shown in the following passage:
"My boys retained their old love for giving names to the animals... Jack had a descendant of his old favourite Fangs, the jackal, which he chose to call Coco..."
Like the rest of the book, this passage is narrated by the father, William. He describes Coco along with many of the other animal companions.
