Russian Dog

The Russian Dog is a character who appeared in the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Hare Ribbin'" as the main antagonist. 
While similar in many ways to Willougby the Dog, both are slender brown-furred dogs that are very dimwitted, the Russian Dog possesses his own unique characteristics, not the least of which is his red Russian hairdo and his comically-thin Russian accent performed by Sam Wolfe. Also, like Willougby and many other Bugs antagonists from the early-to-mid-1940s, the Russian Dog does not have a high level of intelligence and is easily duped and outsmarted by Bugs.
== Biography ==
He first appears in the cartoon looking for a rabbit and stumbles upon Bugs which leads to him chasing the rabbit underwater with a series of gags including him playing tag with Bugs, disguised as a mermaid. The dog later demands for a rabbit sandwich with Bugs inside of it, he takes a bite of it and thinks that he killed Bugs with him later crying of distraught and guilt and wishing that he was dead, Bugs gives him a pistol and commits suicide by shooting himself in the head (In the director's cut, Bugs kills him by shooting him with a pistol). As the cartoon is about to end with the iris out, he comes out of the iris and says, "This shouldn't happen to a dog!" and ends with the iris hitting his nose. 
He made a cameo in Looney Tunes Back in Action playing poker with several dogs.
Russian Dog appears in the Looney Tunes Cartoons short "Bonehead", again paired with Bugs Bunny.https://screenrant.com/looney-tunes-cartoons-season-2-videos-hbo-max/

== Notes ==
* His voice is an impersonation of Bert Gordon's "The Mad Russian" character.
* Sylvester the Dog from "Hare Force", who immediately debuted shortly after him, somewhat resembles him, albeit without the bushy red haircut.
