1. ChouChou ChouChou

Audience Familiarity: ★★★

Fans of One Piece are surely familiar with ChouChou, a little dog from Orange Town who appeared at the very beginning of the story and brought a lot of touching moments. Its owner was originally the pet shop owner who loved ChouChou very much and even used ChouChou’s image as the logo for pet food. ChouChou had a good relationship with its owner, who watched ChouChou grow bit by bit. But one day the owner suddenly disappeared and did not return for a long time. Nevertheless, ChouChou guarded the pet shop every day, waiting for its owner to come back.

ChouChou’s prototype resembles the faithful dog Hachiko, though its breed is not conclusively defined.

2. Goofy goofy

Audience Familiarity: ★★★☆

The current image of Goofy is mainly created by the 1990s Disney newly produced animated TV series "Goof Troop." He has a son named Max (Max). Besides that, Goofy also appears in shorts and comics featuring characters like Mickey and Donald Duck.

Unlike Pluto, who is a real dog and Mickey's pet, Goofy, although dog-like in appearance, is a complete “human” figure, talking with his mouth open and walking upright.

There is no consensus on Goofy's breed prototype. Some say, like Pluto, he is a bloodhound, while others say he represents a native American dog breed.

3. Pluto Pluto

Audience Familiarity: ★★★★

Pluto is Mickey's pet, Mickey's favorite dog! But in its first appearance, it was a bloodhound brought by the police to chase the fugitive Mickey Mouse, and it had no name. Pluto is a pure dog and can only express love or hatred through nose sounds. Although he never speaks, communication with Mickey is completely unaffected. He is absolutely loyal and friendly to Mickey and will risk everything when Mickey is in danger! Pluto is also a bit mischievous and sometimes causes small troubles.

Pluto’s breed prototype is a bloodhound.

Audience Familiarity: ★★★★☆

You might not be very familiar with this name, but you definitely remember the dog who often bullied Tom in "Tom and Jerry". His name is Spike, and Tyke is his adorable son.

In the cartoons, Spike has a burly build, while his son is always so cute. Tom and Jerry often provoke him, whether intentionally teasing him, accidentally involving him in chasing Jerry, or Jerry framing him. Therefore, Spike often beats up Tom and Jerry fiercely.

Spike and Tyke’s breed prototype is the bulldog.

5. Snoopy snoopy

Audience Familiarity: ★★★★★

You wouldn’t believe it, but Snoopy has been around for more than 60 years! Snoopy is an important character in the American comic strip "Peanuts." The owner's name in the comic is Charlie Brown. The comic keeps Snoopy’s most distinctive big ears, portraying a cute and clumsy exterior, deeply loved by many readers.

Snoopy first appeared on October 4, 1950, in "Peanuts". At that time, the little dog had no name and only appeared carrying a flower passing by Patty's house. It was not until the November 10 comic the same year that he was named “Snoopy” and his gender was confirmed as male.

Initially, his breed was not classified, but from December 5, 1960, he was officially set as a beagle hunting dog, which is what we commonly call a beagle.
