The famous cartoon beagle got his own star on the Walk of Fame today, right next to his creator, Charles M. Schulz.
Schulz’s son Craig congratulated Snoopy (that is, someone in a Snoopy suit), saying, “Today, Snoopy, you’ve made it!,” People reports.
“No one is more deserving than Snoopy to have a star on the Walk of Fame next to my dad’s, and my dad would be so honored to have all you folks here to come out to wish Snoopy the best,” Craig Schulz said at the star’s unveiling. “Snoopy, you deserve it. I’m gonna give you a dog bone when we get home.”
Producer Paul Feig told Variety, “It seems long overdue that Snoopy be recognized for spreading so much puppy love. Honestly, Snoopy has probably entertained people for longer than most people on the Walk of Fame. He’s been making people laugh for 65 years.”
Snoopy’s star is at 7201 Hollywood Blvd.
“The Peanuts Movie,” the first feature film featuring Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the gang in 35 years, opens this Friday, November 6.
