Snuffles is ananthropomorphic cartoon dog appearing in animated television shorts produced byHanna-Barbera beginning in 1959 onThe Quick Draw McGraw Show.Daws Butler provided his voice.
Snuffles is a bloodhound used byQuick Draw McGraw to ferret out bad guys in the old West but needed to be bribed with adog biscuit before performing his task. Upon chomping on one, he would hug himself in ecstasy, jump into the air and float back down, sighing. Occasionally, Snuffles would demand more than one biscuit, and was willing to accept them from bad guys as well. In several cases when Quick Draw did not have a dog biscuit to offer due to being out of them or if he tried to give Snuffles the reward cash for capturing an outlaw, Snuffles would either shake his head and say "Uh-uh" or grunt to himself and mumble "Darn cheapskate!" as well as sometimes throwing the reward money back in Quick Draw's face.
Joseph Barbera once said that Snuffles was added to cartoons at the request of the sponsor,Kellogg's Cereals.[1]
