Main characters
Courage
Courage (voiced by Howard Hoffman in the pilot, Marty Grabstein in the series, "The Fog of Courage", and Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog) is the titular character and protagonist of the series. He is a kind yet easily frightened pink-furred beagle who was abandoned as a puppy after his parents were sent into outer space, but was adopted by Muriel Bagge. Her husband Eustace regularly mistreats him. Despite this, Courage is determined to protect his owners when necessary. Courage is also very clever and resourceful when the situation demands it, outsmarting the villains most of the time. Aiding him in saving the day is a self-aware, sarcastic, and seemingly omniscient computer that he keeps in the attic. He got his name when Muriel found him as a puppy alone in an alley and remarked that he must be quite brave to be there by himself.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of Courage the Cowardly Dog characters” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2429225. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
