Where My Dogs At? is an American adult animated sitcom created by Aaron Matthew Lee and Jeff Ross[1] that premiered on MTV2 as part of its Sic'emation lineup on June 10, 2006, and ended its run on July 29, 2006.[2] The series, which is one of the earliest MTV animated shows ever made, centers around a pair of unlikely, different dogs: a young beagle and has lazy bulldog named Buddy and Woof. The two dogs try to survive in the streets of Hollywood and avoid conflict with the Dog Catcher. The animation for the show was produced at 6 Point Harness. 8 episodes were produced.

Plot

[edit]

The show lampoons celebrity stardom in various ways; for example, many of the characters based on real celebrities have other voice actors impersonating their voices (such as Steve-O from Jackass and Wildboyz, who appeared in the third episode).

Set in the streets of Hollywood, the series follows the adventures of a rare but smart, brown and white beagle named Buddy who separated from his 10-year-old owner Jeffy in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and his lovable best friend Woof, the lazy and tough bulldog (to whom Buddy refers as obsessed), as he runs away from his owner. They are dogs who are avoided by the Dog Catcher.
