noopy was created as a cartoon
character by Charles M. Schulz in
1950. Snoopy is based on a real dog
Schulz had when he was a teenager,
named Spike. Spike had a white body
with black ears (like Snoopy!) and was a
very smart dog—also like Snoopy!
Spike’s name was also used for one of
Snoopy’s brothers. In the Peanuts comic
strip, Snoopy’s brother Spike
lives in the desert and
sometimes
talks to the
cactus!

Snoopy Through the Years
As he sits on his doghouse, Snoopy imagines
himself to be much more than just an ordinary
dog. One example is the World War I Flying Ace
shown above, who is always in search of his
enemy, the dreaded Red Baron.
Which of the characters below has Snoopy
pretended to be? Do the math under each
character below. If the answer is an even
number, circle that character in green. If it’s an
odd number, cross it out in red crayon.

Snoopy started out as a small puppy in Peanuts and acted a lot like a real dog. But as
the Peanuts comic strip developed, Snoopy grew up, stood on two feet, climbed on top
of his doghouse, and had wild, imaginative adventures! Compare the versions of
Snoopy. Circle three things about Snoopy that stayed the same through the years.

How did Snoopy “meet” his little bird buddy,
Woodstock? Woodstock was born in a nest
built on Snoopy’s stomach one day while he
was napping on top of his doghouse. A mama
bird laid two eggs in the nest, and two chicks
hatched. One of the chicks flew away.
But the other couldn’t quite fly right and
never seemed to want to go far.
That little bird was Woodstock.
And Snoopy and Woodstock
soon became best friends.

Although
Snoopy is
perhaps the
world’s most famous
beagle, his breed had not
been mentioned at all for the
first 10 years or so of Peanuts.
And when he was first
called a beagle, Snoopy
denied it!

What does Snoopy teach children?
Snoopy teaches us that having an active imagination is not only
fun, but important. Snoopy is very creative. He loves to write
stories. He also paints, performs puppet shows (which he calls
“Pawpet Shows,” often retellings of his favorite movies), and he
dances a lot.
And Snoopy spreads love and
friendship throughout the
Peanuts comic strip,
especially when he kisses
Lucy, even if she doesn’t
like “dog lips.”
Snoopy makes mistakes,
too. He often forgets the
name of his owner, Charlie
Brown. Circle every other
letter to find out what
Snoopy calls him instead.
