One of the earliest cinema dog stars was Petey, of Our Gang. Petey was modeled after Tige, Buster Brown’s cartoon dog. Like other Our Gang members, Petey’s life and death is surrounded by rumors. Some reliable sources say that the original Petey (played by a dog named Pal) was poisoned after about two years as a Little Rascal and replaced by his son, named Pete — explaining why Petey’s painted-on circle around one eye switches sides partway through the series. Another piece of Petey trivia: He was the first Pit Bull to be both UKC and AKC-registered.
