What Are The Best Disney Dogs?
Slinky From Toy Story
There is no way you have gone through life without knowing about this calm, sweet toy dog. This may be a technicality, but it still counts!
Slinky is a cross between a slinky toy from the 50s to the 70s and a dachshund. Slinky has a part in all of the Toy Story movies and serves as a good friend to Woody.
Goofy From Various Films
Not many people might know this because of Goofy’s human characteristics, but he in fact is.
Goofy is an anthropomorphic dog, meaning a non-human with human traits. To add to that Goody and Pluto are also very good friends!
Bolt From Bolt
Bolt is a Disney film from 2008 that did well in the box office, but it didn’t quite go down in history as one of Disney’s best-known films.
However, Bolt did have a unique look that many people from the younger generations would recognize at a glance.
That distinct look is based on a white shepherd, just scaled down in size.
Pluto From Various Disney Films And Shows
Mickey’s best friend and the most popular cartoon dog character in the world in my opinion.
Pluto was officially created in 1931 although the first appearance of Pluto was in 1930 as a hound with no name.
Now, Pluto has appeared in more than 176 movies and TV shows and is loved by many Disney fans, what a journey!
Tramp From Lady And The Tramp
If you are an enthusiast of the original Disney movies then you know this playful dog.
Although Tramp can be seen as child-like he is still quite brave and smart.
Tramp is one of the main characters in Lady and the Tramp and is a very popular Disney character.
Trusty From Lady And The Tramp
Trusty is an old Bloodhound that plays one of the good dogs in Lady And The Tramp.
This dog doesn’t play a big part, but he is a memorable Disney dog that enjoys to share his wisdom.
Dug From Up
This is my favorite Disney dog because of his hilarious dialogue and adorable Golden Retriever appearance.
He is clearly overweight which only adds to his huggable look. The irony is, Dug belongs to Charles Muntz who is the evil villain at the end of the movie.
Nana From Peter Pan
Nana is from Peter Pan and she is a servant in the house that cleans up after the children.
Like any nana, she is loyal and loving. She isn’t in most of the movie, but the audience still remembers her loving role.

Be honest, every time you see a dalmatian you think of these dogs and this movie.

Copper From The Fox And The Hound
Copper was the main protagonist in the fox and the hound. Copper is loyal and his journey is often full of tough decisions, but he uses his intelligence to find the best outcomes.

But, at the end of the day, Jock is really just protective of all those he loves.
Lady From Lady And The Tramp
Lady is a cocker spaniel and is oftentimes found being too kind or polite.
Which is often why many other dogs try their best to protect her from the troubles of the world. This distinct personality makes her a popular and adored Disney character.

Dodger’s personality is a street smart dog with a lot of self-confidence in his ability. Less popular than the other dogs on this list, but still known by many.

Sultan is the playful footstool that walks around in Beauty And The Beast.
Originally a dog, but the enchantress transformed the dog into a footstool, which later gets reversed at the end of the movie.
