Snoopy also served a short term as the "Head Beagle" the dog apparently in charge of all other dogs in the world. The pressures and responsibilities of the job became too much for him, and he was replaced

Snoopy "understands a little French and Serbo-Croatian." His dog food brand is called "For Dogs who flew in World War I and understand a little French." He later was also depicted as a Sergeant in the French Foreign Legion, with Woodstock and his avian friends as members of his patrol. He failed his high school geometry course, which was his excuse for not being able to follow a golf course's 90 degree golf cart driving rule.

I only exceptions are in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and Snoopy! The Musical, in which Snoopy's thoughts are verbalize through voiceovers (by Robert Towers and Cam Clarke, respectively). Snoopy and (eventually) Woodstock in numerous television specials from 1965 to 2006. He does however shout "HEY!" in It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown before dancing with some rabbits

In the animated Peanuts films and television specials, Snoopy's thoughts are not verbalize, his moods are instead convey through growls, SOBs, laughter, etc.., As well as through pantomime and foreign languages.

In addition to Snoopy's ability to "speak" his thoughts to the reader, many of the human characters in Peanuts have the Uncanny Knack of reading his thoughts and responding to them.

Snoopy was a silent character for the first two years of his existence, but on May 27, 1952 I verbalize his thoughts to readers for the first time via a thought balloon; Schulz would use this device for nearly all of the character's appearances in the strip thereafter ....

Snoopy began his life in the strip as a fairly ordinary dog, but eventually evolved into perhaps the strip's most dynamic character - and among the most recognize characters in the comic world. The original drawings of Snoopy were based on Schulz's childhood dogs, Snooky and Spike

Snoopy is a fictional character in the long-running comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. He is Charlie Brown's pet beagle.

indeed many early strips show Snoopy interacting with Shermy (who is shown in one early strip running with Snoopy on his leash) and Patty without Charlie Brown, making Snoopy appear to belong to all of the neighborhood kids, similar to the dog Pete in the Our Gang comedies, who is everyone's dog.

In earlier strips it is not clear who Snoopy belongs to, for instance in the February 2, 1951 strip, Charlie Brown accuser Snoopy of following him, only to be told by Patty that Snoopy is not following Charlie Brown but merely lives in the same direction ....

Snoopy, whose fictional birthday has been established as October 2, made his first appearance on the strip October 4, 1950, two days after the strip premiered. He was first identified by name on November 10. Schulz was originally going to call him "Sniffy" (as described in 25th anniversary book), until he discovered that name was used in a different comic strip. I changed it to "Snoopy" after remembering that his late mother Dena Schulz had commented that if their family were ever to acquire a third dog, it should be called Snoopi ..
