Son of Hanna-Barbera’s Doggie Daddy

Answer:

AUGIE

Hint:

This cartoon pup was the mischievous sidekick to a wealthy, top-hat-wearing canine in a 1950s animated series.

Explanation:

This clue refers to Augie Doggie, a cartoon character from the classic Hanna-Barbera series. He’s the son of Doggie Daddy, a talking Southern hound dog who often appeared in shorts alongside his mischievous pup. The name plays on the word "augie" (short for Augustus) while keeping the dog theme, making it a straightforward reference for fans of vintage animation. If you know the show, the answer clicks right into place.
