Huckleberry Hound was originally voiced by Daws Butler.

what is the name of that dog that appeared in several cartoons like Hanna Barbara or whatever Deputy Dog is. I can’t remember his main one, but he might have been Deputy Dog’s dog… if that makes sense…. He didn’t speak, and went around grumbling “rack ‘em frack ‘em”, fake cussing… and had a wheezing sinester laugh???
what about Snowy from Tintin???
Ooooooh k…. nevermind….
Will the name of that dog is Muttley
Question.Who was the cartoon dog that would point at his mouth for a snack to be thrown in going “AH,ah,ah,ah.ah!”He would wolf it down.Then he would fly into the air going”MMMMM!,MMMMM!!,MMMMMMM!!! while holding is fat tummy and then float down like a feather going “AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
How about Dug, from Pixar’s film, “Up”?
Not “Up”, this dog was from the 60′s. Please let know his name, it’s driving me & my wife crazy.
Bob, you are talking about Snuffles, from Quick Draw McGraw I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zldJlUSJ9OI
Will I think you are thinking of Muttly “not sure if correct spelling” but he was Dastardly’s dog.
and there is Frisket from Reboot And the sheep dog from Bugs bunny
Great site. . . how about COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG . .:-)
Penrod Pooch from Hong Kong Phooey!
And Emerald Greene, You are getting fussy about Goofy being a dog, but you accept Dino as a dog? DINO is a DINOsaur. Not that I have a problem with this site calling him a dog because he is the Flintstones version of a dog.
Also, you described him as a “mutant dog”. A mutant dog is still a dog.
Explain how a dog can be a superhero? Explain how a dog could order bombs and traps from ACME and set them up to kill a bird? Explain how a dog could be a Deputy? Explain Explain Explain
THEY’RE CARTOONS. THAT’S HOW.
Sorry I got so irritable. I just had a baby and I’m still a little hormonal.
Anyway you should add Ponrad Pooch from Honk Kong Phooey to the list.
