The only “Fang” I know of is Maxwell Smart’s dog, a secret agent in his own right, and almost as incompetent as Max:

That was my only thought as well.
This dates me, but Phyllis Diller used to refer to her husband as “Fang.”
There was also Soupy Sales’ dog White Fang.
Fang was also Hagrid’s dog in Harry Potter.
There’s also White Fang who appeared regularly with Soupy Sales.
ETA: YIKES! Ninja’d by @Colibri within just seconds, with the same link even! (GMTA!) (The Curator of Critters would know that kind of stuff, obviously.)
Fang Lang survived the titanic…
Fang is my oldest.
Yeah, I was gonna say that…
But what did Buddy Sorrell/Morey Amsterdam call his wife on The Dick Van Dyke Show?
Pickles
Pickles was one of those “never seen” characters, like Phyllis Diller’s Fang or Norm’s Vera (?) or “This is Carleton your doorman…”
But later in the show she showed up. The actress did a great job, but even as a kid I thought “Darn, a cool comedy bit, undone.”
Pickles showed up in the show about Buddy’s Belated Bar Mitzvah, right? That was a fabulous episode.
Pickles appeared several times, played by two different actresses. First Barbara Perry, later replaced by Joan Shawlee. All of her appearances are actually in the first two seasons. She didn’t really become a completely unseen character until seasons 3-5.
Oddly enough, she did not appear in the Bar Mitzvah episode, even though it would have been logical for her to do so.
Of Mrs. Colombo we do not speak.
Oh. That’s interesting… thanks for the correction.
Nor the public announcer at the 4077.
It’s an understandable mistake. Buddy’s mother does appear in that episode, although she has no lines, and after all, you’d think that Pickles would show up to the synagogue for something like that!
Yanno, I’m getting the impression we’re just padding, now.
I’m not padding.

Aw. I chose St. Cecilia for my confirmation name because she was the patron saint of music.
My two degrees of separation from Mr. Sales. He had his name formally changed to Soupy Sales in my town. The son of the chief of police was in my grade, so he got to the court procedure and ride in a car with Soupy. He (the kid) was a serious target of jealousy.
St. Agatha of the Double Mastectomy seems to be oddly concurrent with Rafael the Unshaven’s sudden fixation with Breast Milk.
