Created by Hal Roach, the series is noted for showing children behaving as normal kids, rather than have them imitate adult acting styles. In addition, Our Gang notably put boys, girls, whites, asian and blacks together as equals, something that broke new ground, according to film historian Leonard Maltin. That had never been done before in cinema. After Sammy, Mickey and Mary left the series New faces included Bobby "Wheezer" Hutchins, Harry Spear, Jean Darling and Mary Ann Jackson. Our Gang cast acquired an American Pit Bull Terrier with a ring around his eye; originally named "Pansy," the dog soon became known as Pete the Pup.
