Muttley is a talking anthropomorphic dog and the secondary antagonist of the Wacky Races animated franchise. His voice was originated by Don Messick.
In his debut series, Muttley is the sidekick of Dick Dastardly, the driver of the Mean Machine (designated #00), and a villainous cheater who competes in the Wacky Races. The duo's usual strategy is to succeed by setting all kinds of traps for the other racers to trip on; but most of them end up backfiring and leave the two at a constant disadvantage. Muttley is most recognizable for his wheezing laugh, which usually happens at the expense of Dastardly's failings.
