Butch (formerly known as Spike) is an anthropomorphic Irish dog who serves as the recurring antagonist in the Droopy shorts.
His name was changed to Butch to avoid confusion with Spike from the Tom and Jerry cartoons, he relinquished the name to his identical cousin. All of the original 1940s and 1950s MGM shorts featuring him were directed by Tex Avery.
