Pat is a fictional character in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. He appears in the chapter The Rabbit Sends a Little Bill. He works for the White Rabbit like his friend Bill the Lizard. Carroll never gave any description to the character other than being a gardener.
When the White Rabbit mistakes Alice for his maid, Mary Ann, she eats some biscuits that make her grow. The Rabbit thinks she’s a monster so he asks Pat to climb down the chimney to get the monster out of his house. But Pat refuses so the Rabbit and he send Bill the Lizard to climb down the chimney. When Bill climbs down the chimney Alice’s arm pushes him, causing him to fly out of the chimney and in the Rabbit’s garden.
In the Disney animated film Pat is replace by the The Dodo, who actually appears in the Caucus Race. This lead to lots of confusion between the two characters even though they had nothing in common.
