Beth is asking if anyone knows where the dog in the smurf cartoon comes from. Does anybody know more about the dog, that is also available as a figurine?
We thank our friend Vic for his assistance in this matter: According to the cartoon series, the Smurfs’ dog called Puppy was originally owned by Homnibus, the human wizard commonly seen in the Johan and Peewit adventures. It was a thousand-year-old puppy that had a magic locket that only one person could open — that person being Baby Smurf. Anyone else that tried to open the locket would get a slight electrical zap. Puppy was given to the Smurfs by Homnibus as a gift. (Puppy apparently was called Homni-One, since that was inscribed on the magic locket.) We also thank Maria for her input in this matter!
