Pete the Pup (September 9, 1929 – January 28, 1946), also called Lucenay's Peter, was an american dog actor known to protrait "Pete, the dog with the ring around his eye" in Hal Roach's Our Gang comedies series (later known as The Little Rascals) during the 1930s. He was well known for having a circled eye added by Hollywood make-up artist Max Factor.[1]
A brief parody of Pete appeared in the 1935 Bob Hope short Watch the Birdie, which was produced by Warner Bros.
In his last years Tommy "Butch" Bond made public appearances with a similar Pit Bull Terrier he claimed was a descendant of the original Pete the Pup.
