Otherwise known as `` Pete, the Dog With the Ring Around His Eye '', or simply `` Petey '', he was well known for having a circled eye that was added on by Hollywood make - up artist Max Factor and credited as an oddity in Ripley 's Believe It or Not. The original Pete ( sired by `` Tudor 's Black Jack '' ) was an APBT named `` Pal, the Wonder Dog '', and had a natural ring almost completely around his right eye ; dye was used to finish it off. Contents 1 History 2 Death 3 External links 4 References History Pal the Wonder Dog as Pete, along with Our Gang cast with Director Robert McGowan. When he was about six months old, Pal the Wonder Dog made a cameo appearance in the Harold Lloyd film The Freshman, in 1925. Pal first started out as `` Tige '' in the Buster Brown series in the 1920s. It was during this time that he acquired the circled eye, and when he was recruited to appear in the Our Gang comedies later that year, Hal Roach simply left it on, creating one of the most recognized dogs in film history. Trainer and owner Lt. Harry Lucenay used one of Pal 's offspring as Pete in the series after Pal was poisoned and died in 1930. The dog, named Lucenay 's Peter, was bred by A.A. Keller. The second Pete looked very similar to the first Pete but was a mirror image. The circle was on the right eye on the first Pete while it was on the left eye on the second Pete. The second Pete appeared as a puppy on Pups Is Pups and was nearly full - grown on his second appearance, School 's Out. The second Pete 's last Our Gang appearance was The Pooch in 1932 when, in the plot, a dog catcher attempts to kill Pete in a gas chamber but is unsuccessful. So Lucenay 's Peter was the best known. After Lucenay was fired from the Our Gang series in 1932, he retired Peter to Atlantic City, where he was photographed with children at the Steel Pier. Beginning with Hook and Ladder later in 1932, an unrelated dog played Pete and until 1938 a few unrelated dogs would play the role, though in less prominent roles than in the early 1930s. In the 1982 cartoon series produced by Hanna - Barbera, he was voiced by Peter Cullen. In the 1994 feature film remake of The Little Rascals, Pete is an American Bulldog, and in the 2014 movie The Little Rascals Save the Day, Pete is a mongrel dog. Death Roach used a number of unrelated dogs to portray Pete in Our Gang until 1938. Lucenay 's Peter continued on and died of old age on January 28, 1946, in Los Angeles, California, at age 16 years / 4 months, two years after the Our Gang series ended. Pete is buried at Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park at Calabasas, Los Angeles County, California, United States.
