Odie
Odie is a fictional dog who appears in the comic strip ''Garfield'' by Jim Davis. He has also made appearances in the animated television series ''Garfield and Friends'' and ''The Garfield Show'', two live-action/ CGI feature films, and three fully CGI films. Appearances Odie is a yellow-furred, brown-eared dog. In the live-action/animated films based on the ''Garfield'' franchise, he is depicted as a wire-haired dachshund/terrier mix. He has a large tongue and slobbers in his appearances. After October 1997, he began walking regularly on two feet, instead of all fours, like Garfield. In the feature film adaptation '' Garfield: The Movie'', Odie's ability to walk, and more importantly dance on two legs, earns him a lot of attention, and is a major plot point throughout the film.
