Snoopy is the pet beagle of Charlie Brown (his best friend) who cares for him. Snoopy is blessed with a rich, Walter Mitty-like fantasy life in the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz. For some reason, people in Kentucky and Ohio seem to especially love this character, and is a mascot/spokesman for the theme park Kings Island (See also The Mystic Timber)[1]
In most of the Peanuts television specials, Snoopy is voiced by Bill Melendez. Andy Beall voiced Snoopy in Happiness Is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown, following Melendez's death in 2008. Recordings of Melendez were used to create Snoopy's voice in The Peanuts Movie.
Along with Charlie Brown, Snoopy is the only other character to appear in every movie and special.
