Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy

Summary

These cartoons followed a dachshund father and his energetic son. Doggie Daddy, voiced by Doug Young, worked hard to raise his lively boy Augie, voiced by Daws Butler. Augie lovingly called him "dear old Dad," while Daddy would gently say "Augie, my son, my son" when let down. When proud, he'd grin at the audience and declare, "Dat's my boy who said dat!" The setup was similar to Hanna and Barbera's earlier Spike and Tyke theatrical shorts.

Character information

Augie is a highly spirited male pup motivated by ambition and a desire to make his father proud, typically wearing only a green shirt. He has some scientific knowledge and can converse with animals, often capitalizing on his father's foibles. Doggie Daddy, usually wearing a purple collar, attempts strict parental guidance but has a warm personality and usually gives in to Augie's wishes. In Jellystone!, Augie is depicted as female.
