Salty the Seal was a recurring character in the Pluto cartoons. He was a seal who would show in the most unlikley [sic] places (the beach, the arctic, etc.),

Actually, those kind of sound like the least unlikely places to me. I assume "etc." means "the seal enclosure at the zoo."

who would usually annoy Pluto into chasing him causing Pluto to drown himself.

Salty would save him and they would become best friends.

So he's some sort of necromancer. Talk about burying the lede.
