<P> The character of Snowy evolved through the course of the Tintin series . In early works he exchanges dialog with other characters, including animals, and provides a running commentary on the situation . His character then became affected by the introduction of Captain Haddock in The Crab with the Golden Claws . Before Haddock's appearance, Snowy was the source of dry and cynical side - commentary, which balanced out Tintin's constantly positive, optimistic perspective . When Haddock entered the series, the Captain took over the role of the cynic, and Snowy gradually shifted into a more light - hearted role, having dialog only with Tintin . </P> <P> Snowy is portrayed as brave and is often fearless against much larger creatures when Tintin is threatened . He repeatedly frees Tintin from captivity and saves him from dangerous situations, and will sometimes identify a villain before Tintin . His only fear is arachnophobia . Snowy is loyal to Tintin and always wishes to stay by his master's side: in a scene in The Shooting Star when Tintin temporarily abandoned him, Snowy was inconsolable . </P> <P> Snowy loves whiskey, and occasionally gets drunk (as occurred in Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and in Tintin in Tibet). His appetite for food is the basis for several short, comical sequences . The dog's biggest lust is for bones . This is repeatedly the centre of moral dilemmas, as Snowy has to decide between carrying out important tasks, such as carrying an SOS message, and picking up a bone . Snowy indulges in rowdy behaviour chasing the Siamese cat at Marlinspike Hall until the two become friends at the end of The Calculus Affair . Snowy often adds to the story in notable ways . For instance, Snowy is the only character in Flight 714 to Sydney to escape mass hypnosis and to know of their abduction by aliens . </P> <P> At the end of the run of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets on 8 May 1930, a mock reception for Snowy and Tintin was conducted at Brussels' Gare du Nord railway station . There Snowy was played by Hergé's cafékeeper's Fox Terrier . In The Adventures of Tintin television series, Snowy is voiced by Susan Roman . However, Snowy's comments are not present . </P>
