Meaning and background
The story behind Woofie
Woofie is a dog character in MUTTS, documented on the comic’s official website. The cast profile presents him as an exuberantly affectionate dog who gives kisses, enjoys every season and sometimes runs a dog-kissing booth for charity. His favourite holiday is Valentine’s Day, and his version of love is called wuv. This is a direct fictional canine association for the exact spelling, without establishing how Woofie developed as a general pet name.
