History Characters / MickeyMouseComicUniverseAnimals

* CatsAreMean: With some hints of ScrewySquirrel. Tiger always tries to eat the parrot, once stole a fish Goofy'd just caught, and scratches whatever furniture to pieces with no regrets. One comic had Goofy putting the cat outside and tell him to use a tree for scratching instead. It destroyed the base of the tree so badly it fell -- right on Goofy's house.

* ReplacementLoveInterest: Dinah took over from Fifi the Peke in the 40s. This is more obvious in the shorts, because Dinah only appeared in a handful of gag comics.

* ABoyAndHisX: A Mouse and His Dog. In 1995, there even was a comic story published with that particular title. It had Pluto save Mickey from Princess Queezila of the underground troll kingdom.

* UpliftedAnimal: Umbrage in particular but Magnolia is certainly not to be excluded. No special reason is ever given -- they've just been educated and although they still are animals they get a lot of room to interact in human business. Because there's not special reason they have their intelligence, they cannot talk but they can read and write.

* ElephantInTheLivingRoom: A literal case when Pluto tries to hide Elsie inside the house to prevent her being sent back to the zoo. The final hiding place is under Mickey's, which takes him a good while to realize. Needless to say, the zoo staff doesn't immediately believe him when he calls to tell he's found the missing elephant.

* OrganGrinder: Jocko used to be the money collector for and organ grinder named Tony. When Tony retired and couldn't take Jocko to live with his son, he gave him to Morty and Ferdie. Jockette might be an organ grinder's monkey too because her skills and behavior are similar to Jocko, but othing is confirmed.

Two monkeys that belong to Morty and Ferdie. Jocko used to be owned by Tony, the organ grinder, until he retired. Jockette's origins are unknown becuse she came home with Jocko one day. However, she must have a similar history as a performer.

* DependingOnTheArtist: In the classic shorts, Butch is depicted as having grey fur. For one reason or another, this became white in the comics. Sometimes, Butch would be brown (a look adopted by ''MickeyMouseClubhouse'') and for a short time in the 90s he was white ''and'' brown. (English) Prints in which Butch is grey are remarkably rare.

Two monkeys that belong to Morty and Ferdie. Jocko used to be owned by Tony, the organ grinder, until he retired. Jockette's origins are unknown becuse she came home with Jocko one day. However, she muct have a similar history as a performer.

* InterspeciesFriendship: Elsie is an elephant and Pluto a dog, but they are very close. Overlaps with OldFriend by the time Elsie is old enough to escape the zoo and find Pluto.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Morty and Ferdie certianly believe so, and they got two monkeys for the price of one (that was already free)!

* DestructiveSavior:

* BeastAndBeauty: Inverted. The female half still is the beauty and the male half still the "beast", but from a gorilla perspective. Magnolia affects Umbrage's self-image, even causing him to temporarily give up human society in frustration, until both he and she find a balance that works.

* FriendToAllChildren: As much as Umbrage exclusively embraces classy activities, he has a soft spot for children and enjoys playing with them. Unfortunately, their parents tend to not be charmed by the thought of them hanging out with a gorilla.

* {{Tsundere}}: Type A with overlap of ScrewySquirrel fed by ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful. Magnolia met Umbrage when he visited the zoological gardens she was kept at. She made eyes at him, but he didn't even notice her. [[WomanScorned So she threw her food bowl at him]]. ''Then'' he noticed her. At first this seemed to satisfy her, but right after he gave her flowers she drenched him with a bucket of water and she openly mocked him for his poetry composed just for her. Umbrage persisted, though, and she did grow stable feelings towards him... until Magnifico joined the zoo's gorilla population.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Fifi the Peke, a dog Minnie usually is depicted to own. All three of her appearances are in Christensen-Murry comics, two in 1953 and one in 1954. It's unclear if YouDontLookLikeYou is at play or if she's meant to be a separate character. Despite the overlap, Murry drew Fifi the Peke in Fifi the Peke in ''"Westward Whoa!"'', inbetween the last two Fifi the Poodle stories. Even worse, in Fifi the Poodle's final story, she's not namedropped, but another dog apparently modeled after Dinah the Dachshund ''is'' named Fifi. Of further note is that the 2015 print of ''"Caws and Effect"'' from which the image is taken blurs the line between the dogs more than the original by depicting Fifi in browns, when the 1950s had her in dark grey.

* WouldHurtAChild: In ''The Purloined Pup'', which was adapted into a comic by the same name, Butch kidnaps a puppy for ransom. It is one of the few portrayals of him as an actual villain.

[[folder: Boo-Boo the Maltese Terrier]]
!! Boo-Boo the Maltese Terrier

A Maltese terrier that belongs to Mademoiselle Clou-Clou, owner of the Bon-Bon Bonnet Shoppe.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Overlaps with KillerRabbit. Boo-Boo is a selfish, violent, and vain monstrosity that within days becomes the terror of the neighborhood. She uses her cutesy looks to lure cats into attacking her so she can attack them, dragging her defeated opponents to the back of the yard where she scratches her score in the fence. She can gnaw through the tires of a moving car in an instant. And the dogcatcher only was way too happy handing her back to Mickey with a free license if only he'd never have to deal with her again. Yet she is the cutest little bundle of fur the flutters her eyelashes to whomever she wishes to be in good standing with and up to a point she can hide her misdemeanors.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Fifi the Peke, a dog Minnie usually is depicted to own. All three of her appearances are in Don Christensen-Paul Murry comics, two in 1953 and one in 1954. It's unclear if YouDontLookLikeYou is at play or if she's meant to be a separate character. Despite the overlap, Murry drew Fifi the Peke in Fifi the Peke in ''"Westward Whoa!"'', inbetween the last two Fifi the Poodle stories.

Jeremy's parrot he acquired in China. It accompanies him wherever he goes.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Agenore wears a blue sailor cap.
* PirateParrot: Agenore is Jeremy's parrot and Jeremy is not a pirate, but he is a sailor with moral flexibility relative to the profit.

[[folder: Bobo the Elephant]]
!! Bobo the Elephant
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_elephant_bobo.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Bobo the Elephant"'', 1934]]

A baby elephant originally purchased by Eli Squinch that through circumstances came into Mickey's possession. It was finally reunited with its mother and sold to the circus she's part of.

* AccidentalBid: This is how Mickey acquired Bobo, after it was sent to the wrong town and its documents went missing. The price he paid for the "mystery crate" was three dollars and thirty cents.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: Bobo might be an animal and technically not an orphan, but there's no escaping it's a baby without its parents (until the final pages) and no good place to go to (until the final pages). Squinch can easily be regarded as TheFagin in this scenario.
* ThePrankster: It loves to cause mischief, its first targets being Pluto and Horace. Horace [[KarmicTrickster kinda deserved it]] because he claimed elephants have no sense of humor. On the other hand, Bob didn't like it at all to be repeatedly targeted by Goofy with pepper-filled candy and sabotage of his instruments and never forgave him for it either.
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: A non-fantastic version but one that pulls the same strings. Squinch needs Bobo to power sawmill plant cheaply. He's prior worked several horses to death that way and he was hoping an elephant would last a good while longer. He didn't expect to be sent a youngling, noting it might not be able to meet the demands of the work either, but that wasn't stopping him from wanting to give it a try anyway.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Between its large eyes, signature "garfle" sound, and perpetual upbeat disposition, not a panel goes by in which Bobo isn't adorable.

[[folder: Zowie]]
!! Zowie
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_zowie.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Pluto the Racer"'', 1934]]

The Shoebuckle's dog and the fastest canine in Mouseton and its surroundings. He's a friend of Pluto.

* EpicRace: The premise of ''"Pluto the Racer"''. Zowie was certain to win, Black Lightning was certain to be second, and Pluto was certain not to be allowed to run at all. After some arrangements by Black Lightning's owner, Zowie failed to compete, Pluto won in his stead, and Black Lightning got second.
* FixingTheGame: Zowie was put on the receiving end of this. At first Mickey, his trainer, was asked [[ThrowingTheFight to not enter Zowie]] in return for arranging Pluto's entry in the race (he'd been banned earlier and Mickey wanted him to get a chance to prove himself). Mickey refused and so the "OpposingSportsTeam" [[KickTheDog sneaked Zowie a laced biscuit]]. He'd recover eventually, but not in time for the race.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Zowie is introduced when he's already set to win the big race and his training only is to keep him in shape, as well as a way to get around Pluto's ban because he ''is'' allowed to use the track for practice as Zowie's training buddy. Pluto later has to use the training he got alongside Zowie to win for him.

[[folder: Agnes the Lion]]
!! Agnes the Lion
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_agnes.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Goofy and Agnes"'', 1942]]

A lion Goofy bought from the circus and later sold her and her cubs to another when it was in her best interest.

* BestialityIsDepraved: The whole setup to Agnes's introduction is that Mickey thinks Goofy's got a new girlfriend... who so happens to eat hamburger at twenty pounds at a time. Even after the {{punchline}} has arrived, the humor stays on Goofy talking about Agnes as if she's "more" than a pet for about a third of the story. For starters, he named Agnes after an Agnes he once courted and claims the two share the same wavy hair and dreamy eyes. His exaggerated story of how he acquired her (he really just bought her for a fiver) is of the "DastardlyWhiplash threatened TheIngenue, so I stepped in" variety.
* BigEater: Not exceptionally so for a lion, but Goofy didn't account for the food bill when he took her in. It's that bill that became a strong argument in accepting that she needed a different home.
* CowardlyLion: A literal case. Regular dogs are enough to scare her up a tree as if she was a regular housecat.
* CuteKitten: For all that the humor leans on Goofy having a lion of all possible animals as pet, it's 100% dedicated to showing her off as as cute as Goofy sees her.
* FireForgedFriends: At first, Mickey is the most vocal character in the story insisting that Goofy gets rid of Agnes. As events unfold, he comes to agree with Goofy that Agnes is harmless and grows distasteful of the neighborhood's and city council's attempts to remove the animal with no regard for its well-being.
* LoopholeAbuse: The reason Goofy manages to keep Agnes for most of the story is that there's no specific law against keeping a lion. Amazingly, Goofy himself challenged the city council to show him such a law or leave Agnes alone.
* SweetPollyOliver: Agnes doesn't actually have a mane. It's a tight wig given to her by the circus to make her look more fierce. Goofy didn't figure this out until shortly before she had cubs, but then again, he always thought of her as female anyway.

[[folder: King Silver]]
!! King Silver
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_king_silver.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Billy the Mouse"'', 1945]]

A movie star horse that came into Mickey's possession when he pretended to be Billy the Mouse. Billy's saved the life of a horse thief, Jake, four years prior and King Silver was his means of thanking Billy for that.

* AttentionWhore: Having a history of being in the spotlight, King Silver will do anything to get the camera on him. First thing he does when Mickey gets on is photobomb a picture a mother tries to take of her son. King Silver's peculiarity does come in handy when Mickey has to rob a train. The horse is a LovableCoward, but simply being told "Lights, Camera, Action!" as if his big scene is going to be recorded is enough to get him to perform the most daring of acts.
* EternallyPearlyWhiteTeeth: King Silver's almost perpetually smiling with bared teeth to look good whenever.
* WhiteStallion: A parody with some fluctuation to it. The fluctuation is due to that not all color versions of ''"Billy the Mouse"'' choose to make King Silver white; the first American color print even starts all white, then switches to brown halfway. Based on the name, the intent does seem for King Silver to be (near) white. The parody is on account that King Silver likely owes his movie career to the trope as applied through ShowWithinAShow, but within the comic story's reality, although he gets to be Mickey's horse, he's such a handful that he barely qualifies.

[[folder: Boffo]]
!! Boffo
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_dachshund_dinah.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''Sunday pages'', 1948]]

A former circus dog that was taken in by Pluto.

* AppropriateAnimalAttire: He wears a sweater and a cap.
* CircusBrat: An animal version. Boffo loves to perform and shows off for Pluto right after the latter has got him fixed up. Unfortunately for Pluto, Boffo didn't just make him laugh, but [[MustMakeHerLaugh Dinah too]].
* GettingTheBoot: Pluto met Boffo when his owner literally kicked him out of their camper for being too old.

[[folder: Umbrage and Magnolia]]
!! Umbrage and Magnolia
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_umbrage_and_magnolia_0.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Mickey Takes Umbrage"'', 1953]]

A college-educated gorilla that was the pet and colleague of Maxwell Mouse. He lived with Mickey for a time thereafter, during which he and Magnolia, a zoo gorilla, met. They went out on their own once they got married.

* BeastAndBeauty: Inverted. The female half still is the beauty and the male half still the "beast", but from a gorilla perspective. Magnolia affects Umbrage's self-image, even causing him to temporarily give up human society in frustration, until both he and she find a balance that works.
* ControlFreak: Umbrage has particular ideas of class, manners, and finesse his environment better adheres too. It got worst during his short but explosive career as director, multi-script writer, and studio vice president.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Maxwell raised Umbrage from a baby to a fine young gorilla who won prizes for athletic and mental achievements at Cramwell College. Early in his debut comic, he becomes Mickey's housemate when Maxwell moves to Africa and can't take Umbrage along. The worst of it for Mickey is that Umbrage makes him feel unsophisticated. Still, he does feel the house is rather empty once the gorilla leaves on honeymoon with Magnolia.
* {{Expy}}: Umbrage is none too subtly a character-upped version of the unnamed gorilla Eega Beeva hired to keep his research secret in ''"The Atombrella and the Rhyming Man"''. With a bit of stretching, it's even possible to interpret the two as the same gorilla and that it was Umbrage's prior dealings with Mickey that caused him to be selected as his new caretaker.
* FriendToAllChildren: As much as Umbrage exclusively embraces classy activities, he has a soft spot for children and enjoys playing with them. Unfortunately, their parents tend to not be charmed by the thought of them hanging out with a gorilla.
* LoveTriangle: [[TriangRelations Type 7]]. Magnolia liked both Umbrage and [[RomanticFalseLead Magnifico]] and they liked her back. Eventually, the two males got into a fight that Umbrage won. This certainly impressed Magnolia, but Umbrage was done with her by then, even if it left him [[HeartbrokenBadass frustrated and heartbroken]].
* RescueRomance: Their potential romance apparently definitely over, fate turned things around when a fire broke out in the zoo and Umbrage had to rescue Magnolia. The two married shortly after and left for Africa on honeymoon.
* SternTeacher: With some elements of BadassTeacher. Umbrage is a firm believer of the right to and need of education and will give up his free time to make sure whoever has proven themselves uneducated will be up to scratch.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A with overlap of ScrewySquirrel fed by ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful. Magnolia met Umbrage when he visited the zoological gardens she was kept at. She made eyes at him, but he didn't even notice her. [[WomanScorned So she threw her food bowl at him]]. ''Then'' he noticed her. At first this seemed to satisfy her, but right after he gave her flowers she drenched him with a bucket of water and she openly mocked him for his poetry composed just for her. Umbrage persisted, though, and she did grow stable feelings towards him... until Magnifico joined the zoo's gorilla population.
* UpliftedAnimal: Umbrage in particular but Magnolia is certainly not to be excluded. No special reason is ever given -- they've just been educated and although they still are animals they get a lot of room to interact in human business. Because there's not special reason they have their intelligence, they cannot talk but they can read and write.

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_ezra_alligator.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Goofy"'', 1954]]

An alligator Goofy bought when it was little.

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Lightly, but Goofy does walk him on a leash and he has his tongue hanging out in some panels.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: It's implied the crook would've killed Ezra if Mickey and Goofy hadn't disarmed him timely.
* HiccupHijinks: After swallowing a stolen bag of money, Ezra continuously hiccups up banknotes. In the end, the bank buys him and gives him a job as assistant cashier until he's hiccuped up all the money.
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Ezra's of the cuddly variety, but he does try to bite things whenever he can. It becomes a plot point when he swallows the bag of money a crook just stole from the bank.

[[folder: Tiger the Pup]]
!! Tiger the Pup
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_pup_tiger.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Pluto"'', 1954]]

A puppy owned by Minnie.

* BrokenPedestal: Tiger is immediately impressed with Pluto when Minnie leaves the older dog to babysit him. Then he accidentally scares Pluto with his yapping and the impression falls apart. RebuiltPedestal kicks in when Pluto saves him from falling to his death.
* SleepCute: After their ordeal, Pluto and Tiger are brought home by police officers. Pluto is already fast asleep when they arrive, while Tiger is still full of energy. The pup nonetheless decides to cuddle up to his protector as they wait for Mickey and Minnie to come home.
* StrayingBaby: Once he stops admiring Pluto, he goes out on his own, stealing Butch's bone, rushing into traffic, and getting himself launched upwards at a construction site to end up dangling from a rope [[NowThatsUsingYourTeeth by his teeth]].

[[folder: Boo-Boo the Maltese Terrier]]
!! Boo-Boo the Maltese Terrier
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_boo_boo.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Pluto in Love Trouble"'', 1955]]

A Maltese terrier that belongs to Mademoiselle Clou-Clou, owner of the Bon-Bon Bonnet Shoppe.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Overlaps with KillerRabbit. Boo-Boo is a selfish, violent, and vain monstrosity that within days becomes the terror of the neighborhood. She uses her cutesy looks to lure cats into attacking her so she can attack them, dragging her defeated opponents to the back of the yard where she scratches her score in the fence. She can gnaw through the tires of a moving car in an instant. And the dogcatcher only was way too happy handing her back to Mickey with a free license if only he'd never have to deal with her again. Yet she is the cutest little bundle of fur the flutters her eyelashes to whomever she wishes to be in good standing with and up to a point she can hide her misdemeanors.
* CheshireCatGrin: She shows one to a much larger dog bothering her. He wisely runs off.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Boo-Boo is about the size of Pluto's head. She dates him for a while, as well as other dogs far bigger than she is.
* RescueRomance: She enters Mickey's household when Pluto brings her in, covered in dirt and on the edge of death. Whatever had happened also did a number on Pluto and he collapses moments after reaching his home. He recovered on his own and later provided the medicine to get Boo-Boo back on her feet too. Although not exactly loyal, Boo-Boo did care about Pluto's opinion of her more than that of any of the other suitors.
* ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful: Boo-Boo knows her beauty gives her a lot of power over male dogs and her cuteness over any owners. She does what she wants because she can get away with it.

[[folder: Binky the Parakeet]]
!! Binky the Parakeet
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_binky.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Pluto"'', 1955]]

A parakeet owned by Mickey.

* FakingTheDead: She plays dead when Pluto fights the cat that attacked her. Pluto thinks she died from shock and tries to hide corpse until he knows how to break the news to his owners. He does so in his mouth, making it seem for a seond like ''he'' can talk when Binky gets up at the sound of her owners' voices.
* FireForgedFriends: Pluto stops objecting to Binky's addition to the household after saving her from a cat (that she nearly got eaten by because Pluto let her out of the house in the first place). Binky changing her main line to "Pretty Pluto!" thereafter also helps.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: After Pluto makes her escape from her cage, the first creature she tries to make friends with is an obviously hungry cat.
* PollyWantsAMicrophone: Binky learns to say two lines through the course of her one comic and repeats them constantly: "I'm Binky!" and "Pretty Pluto!".

[[folder: Marty and Milty]]

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_marty_and_milty.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"The Bird Dog"'', 1956]]

Two ducks Pluto hunted for, then befriended.

* AndroclesLion: Despite being ordered to hunt them, Pluto saves the two ducks from drowning in quicksand with no intent to capture them in their vulnerable state. When he gets stuck himself, they return the favor.
* KarmicTrickster: After Marty gets shot and Pluto is to fetch him, he teams up with Milty to pull a TotemPoleTrench-type monster disguise with the aid of a hollow log. It backfires when they get stuck in quicksand, but Pluto saves them, only to end up stuck himself. Leads to a minor ScrewySquirrel vs. WhatTheHellHero situation when Marty wants to leave Pluto to drown while Milty points out they can't do that.
* TeamSpirit: Marty and Milty aren't strong enough to get Pluto back to shore, so they get their friends to pull the duck equivalent of a Balloonacy-enabled rescue.

[[folder: Milo the Mule]]
!! Milo the Mule
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_milo_mule.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"The Phony Pony"'', 1957]]

A mule Mickey bought for Goofy after he repeatedly failed to win a pony in contests.

* AllGirlsLikePonies: Goofy may not be a girl, but the trope is in full effect due to his sheer obsession in the first few pages with winning himself a pony. Mickey arranges for Milo to be given to him disguised as a contest prize to avoid Goofy further misery.
* FireForgedFriends: Goofy wants nothing to do with Milo once he learns he's a mule and not a pony and takes him to Bigg City to trade him for the pony he thinks he's owed. However, Milo's identity as a horse shines through when he joins the other horses on the bridle paths in the park. He gets shooed away, prompting Goofy to gain a little sympathy and understanding for his pet. Some difficulties later, Milo spots a [[TheBigRace horse race]] going on in a nearby stadium and makes a beeline to participate, dragging Goofy along. They finish first, but only because Milo cut in at the last fifty feet. The organization, jockeys, and audience are mad about the intrusion, which causes Goofy to jump to Milo's defense. Fortunately, the press loves the [[SecondPlaceIsForWinners underdog concept of a mule striving to compete with horses]] and the mood in the stadium changes in favor of Milo. After all this, Goofy decides Milo is a fine fit for him.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Mentally rather than physical. Milo is a miniature mule who thinks he's a horse and who for a while was thought to be a pony by Goofy.

A Pekinese dog owned by Minnie and a love interest of Pluto and Butch.

* BullyBulldog: To Pluto. Most of their conflicts are about [[StockFemurBone bones]] and girls. One 1954 comic even introduces Butch as "the bully bone-robber".
* TheRival: To Pluto, especially in regards to getting a girl's attention.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Fifi the Peke, a dog Minnie usually is depicted to own. YouDontLookLikeYou might be at play as ''"Caws and Effect"'' was the first time Paul Murry drew her and if he wasn't given material to know what Fifi looks like it's conceivable he'd have thought a dog named "Fifi" would be a poodle. Fifi the Poodle would make a cameo in one other comic drawn by him, but he used Fifi the Peke in ''"Westward Whoa!"''. All three comics were drawn in the same year in the given order. Of note is that the 2015 print from which the image is taken blurs the line more than the original by coloring Fifi in browns, when the 1953 version depicted her in dark grey.

A dachshund who is a love interest of Pluto and Butch.

[[AC:First appearance: ''"Pluto the Pup"'', 1931]]

[[AC:First appearance: ''"Happy Ending"'', 1932]]

* TheBusCameBack: Fifi disappeared for fifteen years between ''"Westward Whoa!"'' in 1953 and a 1968 gag comic. She disappeared for forty-five years after that, not counting a photo comic of the short ''Pluto's Quin-puplets'', reappearing in the 2013 comic ''"Society Dog Show"''.

[[folder: Tanglefoot]]
!! Tanglefoot
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_tanglefoot.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"His Horse Tanglefoot"'', 1933]]

Mickey's horse, sold to him by two con men who presented him as a champion race horse (they'd actually bought him from the glue factory). Sweet and good-natured, but not terribly bright, and for the most part not terribly fast -- unless he gets scared of something, then he turns into a speed demon.

* TheAllegedSteed: Slow of body (unless he gets startled, in which case he runs at a breakneck speed and is near-impossible to steer), slow of mind, rather clumsy, not very good at understanding or obeying commands, and tends to get distracted and wander off when he's supposed to stay put.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Tanglefoot's most notable quality is that he's the kindest horse ever. This, unfortunately, also makes it impossible to let him out of sight because he's got no ability to make negative judgements. In ''"Tanglefoot Pulls His Weight"'', Mickey worked as a horse-and-cart milkman for a bit, but when left unattended, Tanglefoot would give away milk to hungry kittens and anyone who looked like they were thirsty or gave him some attention. Many people petted him for the sole purpose of receiving free milk.
* HorsingAround: Happens at times. For the most part, though, Mickey and Tanglefoot get along pretty well.
* StalkerWithACrush: ''Probably'' not in a romantic way, but Tanglefoot ''adores'' Pluto and will follow him around if given half a chance. Pluto, needless to say, does not appreciate this.

A police bloodhound.

* TheBusCameBack: In 2001, Dagmar was among the dogs picked for a [[TheCameo cameo]] when Horace tried to break the world record walking the most dogs simultaneously in ''"World's Greatest Horace"''.
* PlotAllergy: Dagmar is brought in to find Eega Beeva, who has gone missing. The only thing Mickey has left to take his scent from is a kumquat. Take a guess what Dagmar just so happens to be allergic to.
* WorldsBestWarrior: Dagmar is considered the "greatest bloodhound in the business".
