Dino is a fictional character featured in the Hanna-Barbera animated television series 'The Flintstones', and its TV spinoffs and feature films. He is a pet dinosaur of the series' main characters, Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Dino debuted in the opening credits of the pilot episode of 'The Flintstones', but is not mentioned by name until the first season's fourth episode, "No Help Wanted."

In the series, Dino serves the role of a pet dog, and exhibits the characteristics of a typical domesticated canine.

Dino is a prosauropod-like dinosaur. He is a Snorkasaurus. His coloring is purple with black markings. Dino is a relatively small dinosaur, only slightly larger than the humans of his time and smaller than mammoths that appear in the series. He is much smaller than the numerous sauropods that appear as work animals in the series (a full-sized sauropod appears as a crane in the opening sequence, and oversized "bronto ribs" the size of an automobile are seen in the closing credits). Dino is comparable in size to the dwarf Europasaurus.
