Everyone knows who Scooby Doo is, right? He has been seen in his own Hanna-Barbera cartoon since 1969 and became the most popular animated franchise in the world. Every Saturday morning, you could find Scooby Doo and his friends Fred, Velma, Shaggy, and Daphne on your local television channel and now you can find them all over the television and in movies, books, or on the internet any day of the week. The group travels around in their van they call the Mystery Machine and help people who need it while keeping Scooby Doo happy and helpful by feeding him Scooby Snacks.

The plot of the show is still the same after all these years. The four teenagers and Scooby Doo, the Great Dane, would solve mysteries that typically were supposed to be ghosts but ended up being criminals or misunderstandings. Written by Ken Spears and Joe Ruby, the original series, Scooby Doo, Where are You? was just a Saturday morning cartoon on CBS but quickly rose to fame and was picked up by ABC and then the WB and Cartoon Network. Now there are five motion picture films and countless television cartoon episodes. The show has had two Emmy nominations in 1989 and 2003. 

Boo Boo, the long-haired Chihuahua, was the World’s Smallest Dog from 2007 until 2013. Boo Boo, who was from Raceland, Kentucky, was 4 inches tall at the time, was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records until Milly, who is 3.8 inches tall, took over in 2013. Her owner, Lana Elswick said that Boo Boo was the size of her thumb when she was born, and she almost named her Thumbelina. 

Boo Boo enjoyed six years of fame and attended many special events during her stint. She got to travel on several different occasions to meet other world record holders and to celebrity events as well. On Guinness World Records Day in 2007, Boo Boo got to meet the tallest dog in the world, Gibson, who was a Harlequin Great Dane. He was ten times taller than Boo Boo, but they got along furfectly.
