Buster Brown Dog is a fictional character created by Richard F. Outcault in 1902. He is a mischievous young boy who wears a distinctive outfit of a shirt, knickerbocker pants, and shoes with large bows. His best friend is his pet dog, Tige, a fox terrier. SNOOPY, the beloved beagle from the Peanuts comic strip, was inspired by Tige. NARC is an acronym for National Association for Retired Canines, an organization that Buster Brown Dog and Tige founded to help retired dogs find homes.
