Sorry, but Goofy is not a dog at all. He is a dog-faced man. I have it on good authority.
zapppop and I have quite the running disagreement about this. But I always wondered why Pluto was such a complete dog (even though he had a mouse as a master), while Goofy was so totally anthropomorphized.
So I asked the ultimate authority ... Art Babbit, the creator of Goofy. And Mr. Babbit told me, told me himself, that Goofy was, and I quote, a "dog-faced man."
There you have it.
