Daniel Hooligan is another man Henry meets in the Dirty Shame Saloon while married to Claire. Hooligan is of questionable morals and makes money in drug deals and other illegal acts, in which Henry sometimes participates in order to make money. Hooligan visits Henry when he is hired as a warden for the Lovers of Fur Bearers in Turkey Creek Canyon. Hooligan is mere moments away as Claire's life slips away following the accident at the Canyon. It is also in Hooligan's house that Henry first becomes ill, and it is Hooligan who takes him to the emergency room. Throughout the book, it is clear that although Hooligan is a man whose life is questionable, he is still a dear friend to Henry, and one who cares for him.
