"This is not my house... This is not my house... and I will not live here. NOT MY HOUSE! Not my house... Not my..."

—Pete Anderson

Peter "Pete" Anderson/Dotson was a resident living in the Alexandria Safe-Zone and one of the head doctors in the Safe-Zone. Pete was the father of Ron Anderson and husband of Jessie Anderson.

Post-Apocalypse
Pete introduces himself as "Pete, never Peter". He explains that he sleeping on the porch because of a fight with his wife, which happens frequently.

Later, Rick Grimes discusses Pete with Michonne. He explains how there is something strange about him. Pete's son has a black eye when the survivors enter the Zone. Pete's wife asks for permission to do things. Rick intervenes and discusses Pete with Jessie. Pete walks in and witnesses them talking. Rick later breaks into Pete's home and is involved in a fist fight with Pete.

Killed By
Rick Grimes

When Pete is separated from his wife and son and moved to another house, he takes a knife and walks outside with the intention to kill Rick. Regina notices and gets between the two men, Pete slashing Regina's throat, effectively killing her. Rick pulls out his gun and is given permission from Douglas, Regina's husband, to kill Pete.

Pete's death, however, was a factor in the destruction of Alexandria, because when Rick shot Peter, the sound alerted Derek and his group to the Safe-Zone. Zombies were alerted to the Safe-Zone after Derek and his group were attacked.

Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Pete has killed:

Regina Monroe

Trivia
Rick meets Pete for the first time in Issue 75 when Pete is sleeping on the porch, but he is seen at the party in Issue 72.

In Issue 77, Pete approaches Rick with a knife. Regina steps between them and screams: "Peter Anderson, what's gotten into you?! Put that knife away this instant!" But at Pete's funeral, Rick says: "Was the man who killed Regina truly Pete Dotson or was he changed--no different than if he'd died and come back?"
