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.

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

Revival

The Dogfather was revived (and re-designed) in 1993 as a segment for The Pink Panther. The Dogfather was voiced by Joe Piscopo while Pug and Louie are voiced by Brian George and Jess Harnell.

Much like a number of DFE-produced cartoon shorts, about half of the Dogfather cartoons were remakes of Looney Tunes cartoons from the 1950s, which are listed below:
