The dog's name is Muttley, the villain's Dick Dastardly, and the show
was Wacky Races.
STOP THAT PIGEON also featured that strange duo.

A side-kick dog that begged for a special treat. When he finally got it,
he would hugged himself 3 or 4 different ways, then shoot up in the air
and float back down to earth in complete ecstasy. Looking for name of
the dog, name of the cartoon, other characters. Not being able to
remember this one is really bugging me. TIA.

I would say Scooby Doo since he did tend to do something like that, but
there's just this thing tickling at the back of my mind that there is
something else with a similar occurance.. I'll know the name when I
see it though. I am thinking of some wolverine type dude for some reason
though.

Again this was Muttley. He used to do it in 'Dastardly and Muttley in
their Flying Machines'.
I'm not sure, but I think Rassletooth (sp?) from Crazy Claws also does this.

This wasn't a recurring character actually. It was a character from an episode
of Huckleberry Hound. I _think_ his names was Snuffles, and he _might_ have
turned up once or twice again on something like Quick Draw McGraw. IIRC, he
was a pest who was pacified whenever he was fed his precious treat.

The dog comes from The Quickdraw McGraw show, and his name was Snuffles. He
made a number of appearances on the show and was on Huckleberry Hound once, I
believe.
He fit in really well with Quickdraw and Hanna-Barbera's crew of characters
with weird mannerisms (Baba's accent, Quickdraw's strange western drawl,
Snagglepuss's quirky way of talking like he's performing all the time...).

Several confused (by audiences) characters.
Muttley, voiced by Don Messick. Dick Dastardly, voiced by Paul Winchell.
Appeared in Heatter-Quigley/Hanna-Barbera's 1968-1970 "Wacky Races" (CBS) and
Hanna-Barbera's 1969-1971 "Dastardly and Muttley in their Flying Machines"
(CBS).
Smedley was a dog in Walter Lantz's "Chilly Willy" with Huckleberry Hound's
voice (as did a numebr of other dogs like Friz Freleng'
s's 1958 Warner Bros.s' dog in "Waggily Tale, at the end and a number of wolves
that Tex Avery created) thanks to Daws Butler, and an elephant in Jay Ward's
later Captain Crunch ads (Peanut Butter Crunch since the late 1960s).
As for the snickering Hanna-Barbera dog originally in 1959 Hanna-Barbera had a
dog, voiced by Daws Butler, named Snuffles. He also appeared in a Snagglepuss
around 1961.
Later Scooby Doo, voiced of coruse by Don Messick, the Scott Inness and Billy
West and possibly by others did (though that voice issue's off topic herein)
and still later the "Kwicky Koala'; (Hanna-Barbera/Tex Avery, 1981-1981, CBS)
(Kwicky Koala was voiced by storyman Bob iogle credited as voice by his real
name Robert Allen Ogle, as was the case in "Shirt Tales": the following year
for NBC) segment host "Crazy Claws"(Jim MacGeorge a al Groucho Marx)'s nemesis
Bristletooh (Peter Cullen) had the hankering, respectively for Scooby snacks
and for beef jerky. (For completists like myself Bristle tooth was owned by Raw
Hyde Clyde (voiced by Bob Ogle).
Still later Hanna-Barbera in "Scooby Doo's Laugha lympics" used a Dick
Dastardly and Muttley type voiced respectviely by John Stephenson and (again
still) Don Messick, called (I forgot) and mumbly.(Stephneson did Kwicky Koala's
nemesis Wilford Wolf a la Paul Lynde)

Snuffles if not really related to any of the other characters mentioned. He
was a one of a kind.

Are you sure? There is an episode, probaly written by Warren Foster or Michael
Maltese, where Snaggs says "Cry me a river", and Snuffles is making a guest
appearance, or a dog like him.
