Everyone knows the smart black-and-white dog that sits on top of a red doghouse with his
best friend-a bird called Woodstock.
This year Snoopy tums 60.
Created by the American cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by
generations of kids and adults. He speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000
newspapers around the world.
When Snoopy first appeared, he was just like other pet dogs. But two years later, he had
begun to speak with simple words and sounds.
By 1957 he could walk on two legs and was going to school with his master, Charlie Brown,
who failed at just about everything.
Snoopy has done lots of jobs. He has been a bow-tie wearing lawyer, a tennis player and
Olympic figure skater,a world famous grocery cashier, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the
moon.
However,Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. The beginning of his story is
always, "It was a dark and stormy night..." Unluckily for him no one has ever wanted to publish
the story.
Snoopy easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. He eats to forget,but it never
works.
Snoopy is an insightful, feel-good and sometimes sad dogs. If you think a little about his
words , you might find them full of life lessons. Among his most famous lines are " To live is to
dance , to dance is to live. " And " Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll
probably still be a dog. "
