Ding-A-Ling Wolf

Ding-A-Ling Wolf is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon character who is a featured character as part of the Hokey Wolf segment from The Huckleberry Hound Show. He is a young anthropomorphic wolf cub who is always eager to follow in the con-artist-like footsteps of Hokey, whom Ding considers his best friend and hero. Ding-A-Ling usually wears a bowler hat (sometimes red, sometimes black), a sleeveless green shirt, and a black vest.
History
Ding-A-Ling Wolf's first showing was as Hokey's diminutive sidekick in their pilot episode Tricks And Treats in September 1960. Since then, they've both had a total of 29 cartoon shorts across Huckleberry Hound's third and fourth seasons. Ding was primarily voiced by Doug Young, who would often impersonate Buddy Hackett's accent.
