Walt Disney always made it clear that Mickey is a mouse, Donald is a duck, and Clarabelle is a cow, but since Goofy first appeared on TV almost a hundred years ago, fans have been wondering what kind of animal he actually is.

In fact, most people have always believed Goofy was a dog, but Bill Farmer, who has voiced the character for 30 years, revealed that Goofy is not a dog.

If you think about it, Goofy walks on two legs, unlike Pluto, Mickey’s pet dog, his facial features are not very dog-like, and in addition, he wears clothes, a hat, shoes, and he also talks.




Farmer, who was chosen by Disney to voice not only Goofy but also Pluto, told Yahoo News in 2020 that the character is definitely not a dog. For the voice actor, Goofy should have a unique classification.

“Pluto is a dog, but Goofy seems to be in the canine family, just like a wolf, which is not a dog, but still in the canine family. I think ‘Canis Goofus’ is the technical Latin term for what Goofy is. He’s just Goofy.”
