Shulz inserted Snoopy into the Peanuts comic strip October 4, 1950, two days after the strip premiered. He was just a pet dog at the time, consistent with the theme of a strip about children - who would quite commonly have had pets such as a dog. The original drawings of Snoopy were "slightly patterned" after Spike, one of Schulz's childhood dogs, so it is likely that Shulz gave the kids a pet dog because he had one as a child.
