Goofy , the cartoon known as Mickey Mouse's best friend, has become the protagonist of an avalanche in networks. This is a recurring debate that calls into question whether it is really a dog or a cow, an issue that has become a Trending Topic this Thursday in Spain.
The awkward and friendly cartoon first appeared in 1932 and now, at 87, a user has suggested that it could be a cow. The young man has uploaded a video to TikTok in which he searches on Google "What animal is Goofy?" and the first response that appears, on the ReelrunDown entertainment portal , ensures that the famous character is a cow. " At what age did they find out that Goofy is a cow ?" Asks the user, surprised, who can be seen in the video, stunned by the answer.
The truth is that the ReelrunDown page later explains that Goofy was originally a cow and was modified to a dog to better sympathize with the American public: "The Disney marketing team concluded that the American audience considered adorable dogs and perceived the cows as food . So he decided that he would market it as a dog and call it Dippy Dawg. " However, the initial description, which qualifies Goofy as a cow, was enough to spark a debate.
For their part, Twitter users have expressed different opinions about it: there are those who have been outraged at the idea that it is not a dog, others have expressed disbelief and there are those who consider it obvious that it is not a dog.
However, there are signs such as Goofy's original name, Dippy Dawg , which suggest that it is a dog; since the phonetics of this name resembles the word dog, which means dog in English.
For its part, an official Walt Disney customer service account has intervened in the debate to put an end to this mystery and give a final opinion: Goofy is a dog .
