Odie

Odie is a fictional character in the Jim Davis comic strip Garfield. He has also appeared in Garfield and Friends, The Garfield Show, two live-action feature films, and 3 CGI films.

He is a kind but unintelligent yellow-furred, brown-eared beagle (however between his first appearance and September 1979 his ears were black). In the live-action films based on the Garfield franchise, he is played by a dachshund though an actual beagle was seen at the talent show scene as one of the dogs barking at Garfield. In the comic of August 26, 2007, Garfield describes Odie's species as "purebred clown" after trying to find out what kind of dog Odie is with the help of a book.
