Long beloved as the beagle playmate of the often introspective Charlie Brown, Snoopy has always had a certain charm - endowed with whimsy, a philosophical bent and a mind all of his own. Sometimes drawn without a mouth, rumour pegs him as Hello Kitty's uncle. Looking a sprightly 68, Snoopy is nonetheless not going to get the Red Baron this year; but a little more love closer to home. Perhaps he'll finally remember Charlie Brown's name. A little effort also sees Snoopy climb higher, so expect more jokes from the top of the kennel. All the fire around this year brings him no joy and we recommend more time spent inside the larger-than-outside kennel, polishing his flying goggles.
