Your Favorite Cartoon Dogs
Let us not forget our favorite cartoon dogs that inspire us to go out and buy our own furry companion. Many cartoon dogs help to calm us, or make us laugh when we are feeling blue. Cartoon dogs can give us something to do on a Sunday morning as we pour over the comic strips. There are some pretty famous cartoon dogs and those that are popular with all ages today.
Snoopy is believed to be the very first cartoon dog, making his appearance on October 2, 1950. Cartoonist Charles M. Schultz created him. Snoopy was first referred to as “Sparky” in the comic strip, “Peanuts”. Snoopy would often steal the show from the other “Peanuts” characters. The inspiration for Snoopy was actually a real dog, belonging to the creator of Snoopy. The inspiration for Snoopy came from “Spike”, owned by Charles Schultz. Snoopy went on to appear in several cartoon specials and a cartoon series. Snoopy inspired the song called, “Snoopy vs. the Red Baron”, that became a hit in the 1960′s.
Other famous cartoon dogs that followed in Snoopy’s steps were: Offissa Pupp, Deputy Dawg, Otto, Scooby Doo, Ace Heart, Astro, Augie Doogie, Bandit, The Barkleys, the Beagles, Beethoven, The Biskitts, Blue, Chopper and Daisy, Eliot Shag, The Ford Dog, Hong Kong Phooey, Mad Dog, Mr. Peabody, Pongo and Perdite, Pound Puppies, Ren the dog, Spike the Wonder Dog, Snuffles, and Tige and Underdog.
Other popular cartoon dogs were Barfy and Sam, in Family Circus, Boomer and Beaumont, Gus and Hudson, in Pooch Cafe’, Earl and the Guard dog and Woofie in Mutts, Marmaduke – a Great Dane, Roscoe, from Pickles, Sandy in Little Orphan Annie, Snowy in The Adventures of Tintin, and also Yankee Poodle in Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew as published by DC Comics.
Do you remember the cartoon dog that would “hug itself and float into the air” when it was given a dog treat? It was “Snuffles”. He was seen alongside the cartoon character, Quickdraw McGraw.
Let us not forget Pluto, Goofy two lovable dogs from the Mickey Mouse cartoons, and Nana from Peter Pan or Lady and the Tramp, Spike from Tom and Jerry, or Clifford the big red dog, or Ruf from Dennis the menace.
All of these dogs gave special meaning to the cartoons they appeared in and endeared them to millions of kids. Most became inspiration for toys, books or movies. Mankind, sure does have a love affair with dogs of every kind, even cartoon dogs.
