Peanuts has a host of lovable characters, with Snoopy arguably being the character to have captured readers' hearts the most. While everyone loves Snoopy, the mischievous beagle has had many specific moments where he is incredibly kind, helpful, and even responsible, which is not always a given for the mischievous beagle. As a result, Snoopy manages to make himself even more lovable with these comic strips that put his kindness on display.

How anyone could not love Snoopy after reading these comic strips that show his kindness and helpfulness is anyone's guess, but it would certainly be a challenge. From being a help to Woodstock to showing affection and kindness to Peppermint Patty after a hard week, these comic strips are guaranteed to make even Snoopy-skeptics change their mind.

10 "Thank Goodness For People"

Peanuts' November 19, 1959 Comic

There are times when it seems like Snoopy does not appreciate Charlie Brown, with him not even knowing his owner's name (referring to him as "that round-headed kid.") However, this comic strip shows a rare moment where Snoopy is incredibly grateful for not just Charlie Brown, but for people in general.

As Snoopy is morose with thoughts of how a dog's life is ultimately lonely - thinking of how cats hate dogs and horses step on them on top of wild animals hating domesticated dogs - he's suddenly reminded that his best friend loves him enough to make up for it all. Charlie Brown comes walking by, causing an appreciative Snoopy to hug Charlie Brown in happiness that people like dogs. A token of affection from Snoopy to Charlie Brown is a sweet sight to see, given it's usually Snoopy's owner who's suffering an ongoing existential crisis.

9 "You Just Follow Me"

Peanuts' April 17, 1987 Comic

After a bug gets lost, Snoopy tries to help it find its way again, even offering to have the bug follow him and lead him to the edge of town. While Snoopy's longer legs may put him at a walking pace faster than that of a bug's, the fact that Snoopy is willing to go out of his way to show the bug where to go is still a kind act. The beagle that is clearly more thoughtful and empathetic than he sometimes seems.

Of course, Snoopy and the bug do end up getting into a bit of a tiff in the following strip when the bug tries to make Snoopy think that he promised the bug a packed lunch for the trip when Snoopy certainly did not. No good deed goes unpunished, apparently.

8 "Untouched By Human Hands"

Peanuts' January 20, 1991 Comic

When Sally hears her toast pop out of the toaster, she does not want to get up from her comfy chair in the living room, so she asks whoever is currently in the kitchen to fetch her toast for her. Snoopy grabs Sally's toast for her, but it is burning hot, with him playing hot potato with the toast and even blowing on it. Happy with his good deed for the day, Snoopy is proud that the toast remained untouched by human hands, even if only technically.

The saying, "untouched by human hands" typically denotes purity or being free from human impact, but Snoopy's use of the phrase is purely literal. Most people wouldn't love a dog's paws and spit all over their breakfast, but Snoopy puts the best possible spin on it. Snoopy usually insists on being served rather than serving, showing a moment where he is helpful for a change.

7 "He Wrote It!"

Peanuts' January 8, 1995 Comic

Deciding to do his owner and friend Charlie Brown a solid, Snoopy uses his World Famous Author skills to write up Charlie Brown’s homework for him. When Charlie turns in his homework, his teacher guesses that - due to its ragged state - he's going to use the age-old excuse that his dog ate it. Charlie Brown is too honest to try this trick, but his unfailing honesty forces him to it that his dog did write it for him.

Snoopy isn't exactly a regular dog - while other housepets might tear up their owners' work, he's too busy trying to make it big in the literary world. While doing Charlie Brown's homework seemingly didn't end up helping him out, it was a sweet gesture from Snoopy, who sacrificed his time to help out his owner (and has a long history of overestimating his writing skills, meaning he probably assumed he did a great job.)

6 "Stop Snowing On My Secretary!"

Peanuts' December 12, 1971 Comic

As Woodstock prepares to dictate Snoopy's very important memo about certain food items, it starts to snow, interrupting them. Woodstock then has a fit over the snow and how it is affecting his ability to dictate for Snoopy. Hearing out his diminutive buddy, Snoopy yells at the sky to stop snowing on his secretary. Using the magic of comic strips, the snow does stop when Snoopy yells for it to, prompting Snoopy to explain to the reader that a good secretary is worth protecting.

Snoopy often comes to Woodstock's defense, with him speaking up for his best friend when Woodstock can't. Dogs are praised for their loyalty, with Snoopy obviously having that quality as seen in his friendship with Woodstock. Apparently, he's also fierce enough to make the weather think twice.

5 "Mom!"

Peanuts' February 18, 1988 Comic

Out hiking with his Beagle Scouts, Snoopy educates his young pupils that when anyone hikes in the woods, they must be prepared for emergencies. Elaborating on his point, Snoopy lets the scouts know that there is a special call to use when they need help, with that very important call being to yell for their Mom.

Despite Snoopy being an animal, it does not mean that he has animal survival instincts. Instead, Snoopy is more like an honorary kid. Snoopy's advice may not be the most practical, but it shows that he's trying to look out for his Scouts, and that he still has a soft spot for his doggy family, even though he's no longer with them.

4 "Something In Common"

Peanuts' August 30, 1959 Comic

Watching a baby Sally play with her toys, Snoopy remarks on how much he likes her, with him realizing that they somehow have something in common with each other, although he can't figure out what. That is, until he sees Sally crawling, and he is hit with the epiphany that what they have in common is they both walk on four feet.

That information may not be exactly right, but it's a sweet reflection on how Snoopy perceives the kids around him. Watching after Sally shows a caring and responsible side of Snoopy that is not always on full display, especially when he is seen throwing dog dishes at Charlie Brown's head. Consequently, the comic strip gives readers a different aspect of Snoopy's personality that is a bit softer than his college student Joe Cool persona or his hot-headed temper that pops up when he fights with Lucy.

3 "Rescue All Of Them"

Peanuts' November 26, 1989 Comic

With Snoopy, Sally, and Charlie Brown all dry and comfortable indoors on a very stormy night, the kids discuss how grateful they are to be inside during weather like this. However, they can't help but feel bad for all the animals that are stuck outside in such horrible weather. From the stray cats to even tiny bugs, Charlie Brown and Sally feel sympathy for those creatures that have to brave the rain head on. Snoopy hears this talk from his kid owners, and it hits him really hard, causing him to put on a raincoat and get a flashlight so they can go out into the rain and rescue all of the animals left in the rain. Charlie Brown gives him the hard news that they won't be able to do that but Snoopy's sentiment for the less fortunate animals is still crystal clear.

2 "That's Good Advice"

Peppermint Patty commiserates to Snoopy that it has been a truly bad week for her, making her feel like everything is hopeless. She asks Snoopy, a wise sage in her mind, what she can do when she feels this sense of hopelessness. His answer is to give her a kiss on the cheek, making Peppermint Patty instantly feel better. Snoopy rarely seems to feel down - especially compared with Peanuts' kids - and it turns out he really does have some insight on how to feel better.

It is an incredibly kind gesture of Snoopy to try to cheer up Peppermint Patty when she is down in the dumps. He provides a listening ear for her and gives her some affection, being all Peppermint Patty really needed in that moment when she had had a really crummy week.

1 "But Polite"

Peanuts' May 28, 1983 Comic

In this comic, Snoopy is carrying Woodstock around by wearing his nest as a hat. Lucy sees the pair and concludes that Snoopy is pretty bizarre for his fashion choice, but when Snoopy raises his hat in greeting, she has to it that however odd he is, he at least has manners - something you can't say of most dogs. It's cute that even as he's giving Woodstock a ride, Snoopy still has time to greet the often irascible Lucy.

Those are the 10 hilarious Peanuts comics that will make you love Snoopy even more - let us know in the comments below how you first fell in love with the hilarious hound.
