Snoopy (スヌーピー) is a black-and-white Beagle created by Charles M. Schulz in 1950. Charlie Brown's imaginative pet, he famously lives on the roof of his doghouse and frequently daydreams as the World War I Flying Ace. Imaginative, loyal, and highly expressive, Snoopy communicates through body language, thought balloons, and his typewriter rather than spoken human language.
