Where My Dogs At?

Where My Dogs At? was an animated program created by Aaron Matthew Lee and Jeffrey Ross that aired on MTV2 as part of its Sic'emation lineup.

Plot

The show revolves around Buddy, a beagle separated from his 10-year-old owner Jeffy in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and Woof, a large bulldog (to whom Buddy refers as obsessed) who runs away from his owner. Both canines try to survive in the streets of Hollywood and avoid conflict with the Dog Catcher. The show bombards 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). The animation for the show was produced at Six Point Harness.

Controversy

MTV and the show received angry responses from the African-American community for "depicting black women squatting on all fours tethered to leashes and defecating on the floor"[1] in an episode depicting Snoop Dogg ("Woofie Loves Snoop"). MTV defended the depiction as a parody of an actual appearance by Snoop Dogg in which he was accompanied by two women wearing neck collars and chains. However, MTV has not begun production of a second season, nor has there been any announcement of a DVD release for the first season. It has been reported that subsequent airings of "Woofie Loves Snoop" had been severely edited.
