Huckleberry Huck Hound is a fictional cartoon character, a blue anthropomorphic coonhound that speaks with a North Carolina Southern drawl. He first appeared in the series The Huckleberry Hound Show. The cartoon was one of six TV shows to win an Emmy Award in 1960 as an Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Children's Programming; the first animated series to receive such an award.

Most of his short films consisted of Huck trying to perform jobs in different fields, ranging from policeman to dogcatcher, with results that backfired, yet usually coming out on top, either through slow persistence or sheer luck. Huck did not seem to exist in a specific time period as he has also been a Roman gladiator, a medieval knight, and a rocket scientist. He also appeared in futuristic cartoons, as an intergalactic space policeman, alongside other Hanna Barbera characters. The trademark of Huck was his tone-deaf and inaccurate rendition of Oh My Darling, Clementine, often used as a running gag.
