what animal is goofy

The question of what animal Goofy is has been a topic of debate among Disney fans for years. Some believe him to be a cow, specifically an Aberdeen Angus cow, due to his relationship with Clarabelle Cow in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Others consider him to be a dog, closer in relation to Pluto. However, according to Bill Farmer, Goofys voice actor since 1987, Goofy is "not a dog." Pluto, Farmer explained, is a dog. Goofy, on the other hand, "seems to be in the canine family" without explicitly being labeled as a dog. Farmer says "Canis Goofus" is the Latin term to describe Goofy, meaning that Goofy is not simply a dog or a cow. He's just Goofy. Some have speculated that Goofy is a humanoid black and tan coonhound, as he closely resembles this breed with his long and floppy ears and black and tan coat. However, there is no official confirmation from Disney on what animal Goofy is.
