Top 10 Greatest Cartoon Dogs

Snoopy (Peanuts)

Snoopy is a character in the comic strip Peanuts, created by Charles M. Schulz. He first appeared on October 4, 1950, and often sleeps on top of his doghouse. Snoopy is the pet beagle of Charlie Brown and appears in numerous television specials as well as the 2015 feature film The Peanuts Movie.

Snoopy is the best dog ever. If you don't know who he is, then you're crazy! He's from Peanuts.

Best and cutest cartoon dog ever! I just love him!

Snoopy is the best animated dog ever!

Scooby-Doo (Scooby-Doo)

Scooby-Doo is a famous fictional dog character from the animated television series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, which premiered in 1969. He is the protagonist of the franchise, known for his role in solving mysteries alongside his human friends in Mystery Inc. The character was created by Joe Ruby and... read more

Scooby-Doo has the most episodes and shows of any animated dog! What else do we have to say?

Almost all of these dogs except for Brian Griffin are awesome, but Scooby, Scrappy, Hong Kong Phooey, and Goober [the star from the show Goober and The Ghost Chasers who should be on this list] are my childhood heroes!

Scooby Doo is the best TV show with a dog in it.

Brian Griffin (Family Guy)

Brian H. Griffin, popularly known without his middle initial as Brian Griffin, is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy. He is the Griffin family's anthropomorphic pet dog, known for his dry wit, intellectual demeanor, and liberal political views. Brian is voiced by series... read more

Brian is rated similarly to Snoopy and has very sarcastic, subtle humor. Unlike Scooby, who's something of a scared, clueless idiot with an equally annoying nephew.

A very intelligent dog and one of the only characters to tame the psychotic Stewie.

The funniest, and probably the smartest, dog on TV. Should be number one in my opinion.

Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog)

Scooby-Doo comes first, but my boy Courage is the second best! He is so adorable and, despite being so cowardly, he is actually very courageous.

No one can beat this coward who still goes to any length to save his mistress. This dog has made generations of entertainment.

The most legendary cartoon of the 90s. This cartoon will always be number one for me. Plus, the faces he makes are flipping funny. Oh, and the noises.

Pluto (Disney's Mickey Mouse)

Pluto, also called Pluto the Pup, is a cartoon character created in 1930 by Walt Disney Productions. He is a yellow-orange, medium-sized, short-haired dog with black ears. Pluto is one of Mickey Mouse's loyal companions and has appeared in many Disney cartoons.

Blue (Blue's Clues)

Odie (Garfield)

Odie is a fictional dog who appears in the comic strip Garfield by Jim Davis. He has also appeared in the animated television series Garfield and Friends and The Garfield Show. Odie is known for his happy-go-lucky personality and for being frequently teased by Garfield.

I love Snoopy, but I love Odie too. He's the cutest puppy, cuter than Nermal! He also has a very nice personality. Odie would be an interesting star of the comic.

I'm surprised Jim Davis hasn't already made a spin-off comic strip where Odie's the main character.

This dog deserves his own spin-off comic!

Santa's Little Helper (The Simpsons)

Clifford (Clifford the Big Red Dog)

Clifford may be big, but he is amazing!

Goofy (Disney's Mickey Mouse)

Goofy is a cartoon character created by Walt Disney Productions in 1932. He is a tall, anthropomorphic black dog with a Southern accent.

His usual outfit includes a turtleneck, vest, pants, shoes, white gloves, and a tall hat originally styled as a rumpled fedora. Goofy is a close friend of Mickey... read more

Bluey (Bluey)

Tito (Oliver & Company)

Lady (Lady and the Tramp)

Unlike most modern day female protagonists, she is polite, reserved, sophisticated, intelligent, and ladylike, hence her name.

Droopy (Droopy)

Ren Hoek (The Ren & Stimpy Show)

This hilarious version of Peter Lorre is the example of a great cartoon dog. Voiced by the cartoonist and creator, John K, this character had some of the best scenes in cartoon history, such as the what I'm gonna do speech, space madness scene, and YOU EEDIOT! The show kind of jumped the shark when John K got fired, but regardless, Ren is one of the best cartoon dogs in history.

Ren's a chihuahua! I love chihuahuas!

Jake the Dog (Adventure Time)

Jake the Dog is, along with Finn the Human, a fictional character and one of the main cast members in the American animated television series Adventure Time, created by Pendleton Ward. Jake has magical powers that allow him to stretch and morph into various shapes and sizes. He is voiced by John DiMaggio... read more

Why the heck is he #17? He's one of the funniest cartoon characters of all time!

Tramp (Lady and the Tramp)

Astro (The Jetsons)

Underdog (The Underdog Show)

Underdog is an American animated television series that debuted on NBC on October 3, 1964. It was originally sponsored by General Mills and produced 124 episodes. Production of new episodes ended in 1967, but the series continued to air in syndication until 1973.

Spike (Rugrats)

He might look like your average mutt, but as they say, "looks can be deceiving." He is actually a "Siberian Tiger Hound," which is really lucky for Tommy because his breed is extremely rare, highly valuable, and worth thousands of dollars.
Another great thing about Spike from Rugrats is he watches over the babies way more than Stu, Didi, or Grandpa Lou. He cares about them so much, in fact, he even thinks of them as his own babies. In the Rugrats Movie (1998), Spike saves the babies from a wolf much bigger than him.
Even when times get tough, Spike will always be by their side through thick and thin. And he is one of my all-time favorite cartoon dogs. Now that's what I call a true baby's best friend.

Marmaduke (Marmaduke)

Muttley (Wacky Races)

Georgette (Oliver & Company)

Charlie B. Barkin (All Dogs Go To Heaven)

Krypto the Superdog (Krypto the Superdog)

One of the best Cartoon Network and DC characters ever. The 2005 show is one of my favorite cartoons.

I watched the 2022 movie, and Krypto is the best!
