NEW YORK (Reuters) – The "Peanuts" comic strip character Snoopy was named the top dog in pop culture by the American Kennel Club on Tuesday as part of its 125th anniversary celebration, beating out a college sports mascot.

Nearly 76,000 online voters chose their favorites from a list of pop culture dogs drawn from television, film, literature, sports and art, the kennel club said.

Snoopy was the pensive dog whose best friend was a bird and who seemed to be smarter than his human master in the comic strip created by the late Charles Schulz, who died in 2000.

"Peanuts," which for close to five decades served as a mirror for the baby boom generation, appeared in 2,600 newspapers in 21 languages. Its daily readership was believed to be the most of any comic strip in history.

Second place went to Texas A&M University's mascot Reveille, followed by Scooby Doo, the television cartoon character.

The top 10:

1. Snoopy

2. Texas A&M's Reveille

3. Scooby Doo

4. Eddie from the TV show "Frasier"

5. Pound Puppy toys

6. Painting "Dogs Playing Poker"

7. Song "How Much is that Doggie in the Window"

8. Georgetown's Jack the Bulldog

9. The song "Who Let the Dogs Out"

10. Brian Griffin from the animated TV show Family Guy

How many dogs can do so many things? Not only is Snoopy a World War 1 Flying Ace, but he also writes, practices law, delivers Easter Eggs, is Santa, and a million other things. He's the coolest of the cool and he TOTALLY deserves the "top dog" spot! Yep, pun intended!
