TV.com summary

Katts and Dog was a Canadian-produced television series which ran from 1988 to 1992. It was known as Rin Tin Tin K-9 Cop in the United States where it originally aired on CBN Cable/The Family Channel (today ABC Family). CTV broadcast the series within Canada.

When the episodes were filmed—and shown in Canada—the dog’s name was “Rudy”. When the series was aired in the U.S. the name was dubbed as “Rinty” to go with the U.S. title.^[1]

The show is about the life of Canine Officer Hank Katts and his canine partner who fight crime and the forces of evil. The show’s early episodes begin with Hank just finishing up Police Academy. Later on, it shows the first meeting between Katts and Rudy/Rinty. It also shows the life of Hank’s nephew, Steve, through the death of his mother and his adoption by Officer Katts.

A 1991 TV movie had Officer Katts and Rudy visit Paris.^[1]
