Closed [Hot or Cold] Dog Day Afternoon (solved)

[Joe Kerr]

Let's try a new type of deduction game - Hot or Cold.

I've got a famous fictional dog in mind.

Make guesses and I'll tell you whether you're hot or cold after each guess (plus maybe a small hint)

Eg.
You: Is it Garfield?

me: Freezing!!! (I'm thinking of a DOG not a cat)

Let's see if you can figure this out within 15 guesses.

Go!!!

Is it Odie?

COLD
Like Odie, the dog i have in mind is known for being a sidekick. But he doesn't work with a cat.

[Joe Kerr]

Is it Scooby-Doo?

ON FIRE!!!
Like Scooby, the dog in question is a Hanna-Barbera creation born around a similar time frame.

Is it... Huckleberry Hound?

 

[Joe Kerr]

Is it... Huckleberry Hound?

Huck's a little too old. But, like Huck, this dog is bipedal in most if not all of his appearances.

[Joe Kerr]

It's... Scrappy?

WARM
Scrappy was created a little too late. Also, the dog I have in mind ain't no puppy.

Is it Hong Kong Phooey?

LUKEWARM
1. HK was created too late (see above)
2. The dog I have in mind isn't a do-gooder
