Shallow end

Steve and I had yet another important and meaningful fight last night. It wasn't really a fight we were just playing around but I'm still convinced that I was right and he was wrong. It was a really deep and life changing topic too. I really want to be right so I decided I would ask all of your opinions so that I can tell him how you all agree with me. I told him I was going to be sharing this by the way, don't think I'm betraying a trust or anything. He actually supported me sharing because he thinks you'll agree with him. So, please get ready to dig deep into yourself to answer an age old question:

Why can Goofy talk and Pluto can't?
Steve says that Goofy is a cow and that is why he can talk, like Clara Bell. I think he's a dog and I have no theory on why he can talk. Genetic mutation perhaps, bit by radioactive spider, fell in toxic waste, I have no idea.
Please let me know what you think. I'd love to prove Steve wrong.
Thanks for reading.

I'm glad conversations like this occur at other people's houses! I'm with you, sorry Steve, but I think Goofy is a dog...as to why he can talk...I don't have a clue.

Of course he's a dog! look at that face! He can talk because he walks upright and wears clothes. Pluto doesn't so, he can't talk!

This is a very hard question to answer. I think the only one that will ever know is Walt Disney himself. You can look at many sources though and try to find clues. If you look at Wikipedia it will tell you that he is a retarded wolf. If you look at Walt Disney Records and go to Goofy's bio it will make no mention to what type of animal he is. If we take leads from one of their paragraphs, I would have to assume that he is a dog. That paragraph is

"The character whom we know today as Goofy first appeared six decades ago in Mickey's Revue (1932). Then a bit player (as an obnoxious "laugher" in a barnyard audience), he sported whiskers and square spectacles and was called Dippy Dawg."

I hope this helps
