Question: is petey from the little rascals still alive

Answer: No, Pete the Pup (original, 1924 -- June 1930; second Pete, September 9, 1929 -- January 28, 1946) was a character in Hal Roach's Our Gang comedies (later known as The Little Rascals) during the 1930s. 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.
