I bought this #Peanuts 25th anniversary book (1975) from a charity shop on a bit of a whim today. I decided to check if it talked about the introduction of Franklin, and if it did it would be worth buying, and it does.

It turns out to be a really lovely and insightful book. Here’s Schulz talking about the dog who was the basis for Snoopy and how he got his name, with a couple of photos

My mother also encouraged me in my drawing but, sadly, never lived to see any of my work published. She died a long, lingering death from cancer, when I was twenty, and it was a loss from which I sometimes believe I never recovered. Today it is a source of astonishment to me that I am older than she was when she died, and realizing this saddens me even more. When I was thirteen, we were given a black-and-white dog who turned out to be the forerunner of Snoopy. He was a mixed breed and slightly larger than the beagle Snoopy is supposed to be. He probably had a little pointer in him and some other kind of hound, but he was a wild creature; I don't believe he was ever completely tamed. He had a "vocabulary" of understanding of approximately fifty words, and he loved to ride in the car. He waited all day for my dad to come home from the barbershop, and on Saturday evenings, just before 9:00, he always put his paws on my dad's chair to let him know it was time to get in the car and make the short drive up to the store to buy those newspapers.

got home, I recalled my mother once saying that if we ever had another dog, we should name him Snoopy. Not long ago I was looking through The Art of Walt Disney, a beautiful book, and there was a list of names that had been considered for The Seven Dwarfs. Lo and behold, one of the names that had been considered, but turned down, was Snoopy.
