Background

Champ was Nelson's pet dog. Champ died when a large branch fell on him when Billy Mahoney fell off a tree as Nelson and Young Nelson's Friends were throwing rocks at Billy.

During the events of Flatliners (1990)

After he flatlines, Nelson has a vision of Young Nelson and Young Nelson's Friends running in the woods with Champ. Later, Nelson hears the sound of chains dragging and sees Champ dragging itself and whimpering towards him and then disappear. Nelson has a dream that is similar to his vision, except this time he, Nelson's Friends and Champ are chasing Billy through the woods and Nelson falls from a tree. As Nelson is walking home, sees Champ crawling and follows Champ into an alley and the spirit of Billy appears before him and beats him. Nelson flatlines again and in this version, it is Nelson being chased by Billy and Young Nelson's Friends. Nelson apologizes to Billy and Billy hits him with a rock and Nelson falls out of the tree. Nelson wakes up in his dream and Billy and Champ are staring at him. Billy smiles at Nelson and then walks away with Champ.
