Snoopy, Charlie Brown's iconic canine companion from the "Peanuts" comic strip, is a beagle, inspired by Charles Schulz's childhood dog Spike. Known for his intelligence, creativity, and various alter-egos like "Flying Ace" and "Joe Cool," Snoopy was promoted to "Head Beagle" in 1970. Initially introduced as an only child, Snoopy later gained five siblings: Spike, Belle, Marbles, Olaf, and Andy, with two more, Molly and Rover, revealed in a 1991 television special.
