Scooby-Doo Where Are You! Dog Names

Who else could hold the distinguished title of this article's Featured Famous Dog other than the very namesake of the entire Scooby-Doo franchise!? Scoobert "Scooby" Doo was born many years ago, at the  Dooville Veterinary Hospital. His expecting parents, Mama and Dada-Doo were elated when they first laid eyes on their bubbling baby boy and were eager to give him a name. The newly born puppy coincidentally helped his parents out by inexplicably exclaiming "Scooby-Doo" while he was being handed over to his mother. Taken aback but no less delighted by their child's miraculous display of intelligence, Mama and Dada-Doo named their new born son Scoobert Doo because of this.

Scooby and Shaggy would first meet years later, while both of them were still toddlers.  As it happens, the juvenile Shaggy and Scooby-Doo were being watched over by the same baby sister. As revealed on the television special Here Is Your Life, Scooby Doo, Shaggy and Scooby's baby sister was a female Frankenstein-esque woman who absolutely terrified the two toddlers. Because of their mutual fear of this bizarre woman, Shaggy and Scooby Doo agreed to stick together and assist one another in hiding from their baby sitter from hell, as far as the dimwitted duo were concerned. 

Shaggy and Scooby survived the ordeal and became incredibly close friends in the process, paving the way for Scooby to come into Shaggy's care and meet the rest of Shaggy's friends during the TV series A Pup Named Scooby Doo. During this time, the Mystery Inc. gang were all junior high students and Scooby Doo was still in his puppy stage. For reasons still unknown to this day, Scooby reactions to eating Scooby Snacks were much more vivid and volatile than the reactions we'd eventually see once Scooby reached his adult age; whenever the pup named Scooby Doo would eat one of his self titled snacks, he'd often fly into the air like a rocket or twist and contort his body into an impossible shape. The side effects would always have a humorous overtone to them, and they'd even help the gang best various villains and solve the case at hand, but they were still wildly different than the reactions he'd experience as an adult.

Speaking of Scooby's adult stage, the crime solving Great Dane, as well as the rest of the Mystery Inc. team, really began to come into their own around he time Scooby had matured; The original series Scooby Doo, Where Are You! took place around the time Fred, Shaggy, Daphne, and Velma were 17, 16, and 15 respectively (Fred and Shaggy were the same age), and it was during this time that Scooby and the gang became known to the world at large as those meddling kids who solved crimes.
