The Dogfather was a series of 17 cartoons produced by DFE films and released between 1974 to 1976.

Plot[]

The Dogfather was a parody of The Godfather, but with canines as part of the Italian organized crime syndicate. It consists of the Dogfather (voiced by Bob Holt impersonating Marlon Brando) and his henchmen Pug and Louie (both voiced by Daws Butler). There were some cartoons that Louie wasn't in where Pug is voiced by Bob Holt.[1]

The Dogfather was later broadcast as part of the NBC Saturday morning cartoon series The Pink Panther and Friends.[1]
