Snoopy became the world's most famous dog by living his best life atop a doghouse, typing poetry, and occasionally throwing hands with the Red Baron. The "Peanuts" superstar managed to upstage his human castmates for over 50 years. What breed of dog did Charles Schulz base Snoopy on?
▼
Correct Answer: Beagle
Everyone knows Snoopy as the world's most famous beagle despite looking absolutely nothing like one with those black and white spots. Charles Schulz based his superstar pilot pup on Spike, his families old mixed-breed dog. It really makes total sense... if you think about it backwards while standing on your head. But Schulz loved the name Spike so much he recycled it for Snoopy's oddball brother in 1975, turning him into everyone's second favorite dog.
