Pupcopter
By the time of the Steven Universe Future episode "Snow Day", Dogcopter is shown to have a spin-off called Pupcopter's Sky-High Adventure. The spin-off stars a puppy with a blue body, a cream-colored head and legs, brown ears, tail, and nose, and a helicopter propeller on his back like the original Dogcopter. Given Steven's assertion that "Pupcopter is for six-year-olds", the spin-off appears to be geared towards a younger audience than the original.
