Happy Slappy

Intro Norman Snively is the main antagonist of Air Bud. He is an alcoholic, wild-looking clown named Happy Slappy who was Buddy's original owner and arch-nemesis. He usually talks very loud and fast.He is an alcoholic clown known by his nickname "Happy Slappy" who unfairly treated his golden retriever, Buddy. He was portrayed by the late Michael Jeter. 12-year-old Josh Framm meets Buddy, who had escaped from Norman Snively. Snively had locked Buddy in a kennel after causing trouble at a birthday party and was taking him to the dog pound when the kennel fell off the truck. Later on, Snively (after seeing Buddy on TV), tricks Josh's mom and steals Buddy from Josh. Josh then infiltrates Snively's backyard where Buddy is chained up. Snively initially can't see Josh due to a stack of beer cans on his windowsill until it falls and Josh is caught infiltrating his backyard. Josh gets the chains off Buddy and both escape, causing Snively to chase Josh and Buddy in his dilapidated clown truck. The chase rages on to a parking lot near a lake, during which the clown truck begins to fall apart, causing Snively and his truck to splash into the water, but he doesn't drown.
