We are talking about it at work, and I said he’s a “stupid cartoon dog” and someone else says he’s supposed to be a great dane…
Settle this one for me, masses…
I can’t believe no one’s answered this. In fact, I’m expecting a simulpost when I finish. (What a way to hit 100!)
He’s a Great Dane. Notice the resemblence to the slightly more unfunny Marmaduke.
According to the Master, Scooby falls into the category of dawg; more specifically a dawg dawg (since he doesn’t wear pants, a la Pluto).
FWIW, I agree with SNenc that Scoobs – if you have to choose a comparable dog – most resembles a Great Dane.
Actually, a good case for the hypothesis that he is one of the ‘Dogs of Fo’ is made here.
