Hank is an anthropomorphic dog.
Description[]
Hank is a mustachioed, canine hotel clerk who resides in Peaceful Valley, a small mountain town his family seems to have lived in for years. At the very least, his great-great-uncle was a Peaceful Valley resident.
By 1957, he had become the last surviving heir of his great-great-uncle, whose prototype for a "sunlight telegraph" he inherited. He also learned that his great-great-uncle had discovered a rich gold vein that ran under Peaceful Valley. Desirous to mine it, he used the "sunlight telegraph" to start destructive fires across all of Peaceful Valley, hoping to run everyone out of town so he could mine gold alone. He hired Scuttle and Dum-Dum to help him in this venture. After the two thugs were captured by Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Sheriff O'Hara, Hank was arrested for his crimes.
Behind the scenes[]
Hank first appeared in May of 1957 in the first installment of The Phantom Fires.
