In his last years Tommy "Butch" Bond made public appearances with a similar Pit Bull Terrier he claimed was a descendant of the original Pete the Pup.

The first dog actor to play Pete was an UKC registered American Pit Bull Terrier named Pal The Wonder Dog (sired by Tudor's Black Jack x Keller Peggy O'Neill and bred by Earl Tudor) born in 1924, being a descendent to Colby's Pincher,[2][3][4][5] and it is claimed to had a natural mark around his right eye (maybe a human eyebrown form spot) and some dye was used to make the circle, credited as an oddity in Ripley's Believe It or Not.

It was during this time that he acquired the circled eye mark, and when he was recruited to appear in the Our Gang comedies later that year, Hal Roach simply left it on, creating one of the most recognized dogs in film history.

After Harry Lucenays beeing fired, Roach used a number of unrelated dogs to portray Pete in Our Gang until 1938 beginning with Hook and Ladder (1932).
