Appearance/Personality
Willoughby is a dog with brown fur and black ears with a thin black tale and white feet. Willoughby was usually seen very thin but in a couple of cartoons he was seen as a heavy set dog. Willoughby is a hunting dog, but does not do his job well as he is easily duped by his targets, much like Elmer Fudd and Beaky Buzzard are. Willoughby is very much like Lennie from Of Mice And Men. Willoughby wasn't always on the loosing end of situations but for the most part he was, in particular when he was paired with Bugs Bunny. Willoughby was one of the few characters from WB that was not voiced by Mel Blanc possibly due to Tex Avery also directing a few shorts for both Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. Willoughby was one of the few characters to mostly appear in Merrie Melodies cartoons.

1940/1952

 * Willoughby appeared in 2 Looney Tune cartoons and 4 Merrie Melodie cartoons for a total of 6 cartoons.
