== Overview ==
Loopy is a gentleman wolf who mangled the English language in his bid to converse in a French-Canadian accent, and always wore a characteristic tuque knit cap. A self-appointed good Samaritan, he dauntlessly fought to clear the bad name of wolves and would open every episode with his trademark introduction "I am Loopy De Loop, the good wolf." Though he was always kind and helpful, his exploits usually got him beaten up or chased out of town by the very people he had helped, all for no other reason than the prejudice of being a wolf. Still, he never lost faith, and considered himself "kind, considerate and charming."
The character's name was an inspired combination of a play on words:
* "Loop the loop" is a 360-degree back flip performed by airplane stunt pilots.
* Canis lupus is the Latin-based scientific name for the grey wolf species of the dog family, with the species' name of lupus being the basis for "loup", the French word for wolf.
* "Loopy" is a synonym for "crazy" or "eccentric"
