In most of his cartoons, Droopy matches wits with either a slick anthropomorphic Wolf (the Wolf character "portrays" the crooks in both "Dumb-hounded" and its semi-remake, "Northwest Hounded Police" (1946) or a bulldog named "Spike", sometimes silent, sometimes sporting a Gaelic accent. Two Droopy cartoons – "The Shooting of Dan McGoo" and "Wild and Woolfy" – also feature appearances from the curvy heroine of Avery's "Red Hot Riding Hood" (1943) as a damsel in distress being pursued by the Wolf. Three later Droopy cartoons –"Three Little Pups" (1953), "Blackboard Jumble" (1957), and "Sheep Wrecked" (1958) – feature a slow-moving southern wolf character. Voiced by Daws Butler in a dialect Butler later used for Hanna-Barbera's Huckleberry Hound, this wolf was a more deadpan character with a tendency to whistle "Kingdom Coming" (aka "Jubalio") to himself (much like Huckleberry would sing "Oh My Darling Clementine" to himself).
