It looked like a beagle. Don't argue with me. It was small, but I guess it would still probably hurt to get hit in the head with a beagle. If you don't believe me, rent When The L.A. Riots Attack from your local video store and see for yourself. It hurts to get hit in the head with a beagle.
Snoopy is a beagle.
I remember a Peanuts comic in which Snoopy fell off his doghouse on to Charlie Brown's head. Charlie Brown was knocked down and saw stars. And, you know damn well Reginald Denny was seeing stars when those four black gentlemen were teaching him a lesson. Anyways, the reason Reginald Denny was beaten into a bloody pulp, is because Reginald Denny, being the disrespectful bastard that he is, was hauling desert tortoises in his truck. The four dark-skinned men who beat him like a Mexican pinata were undercover cops.
