Synopsis

When Dr. Dog realizes that some diseases are best cured by hypnosis, he decides to ask the advice of a famous bogus fakir and real hypnotist who performs in a circus. When Dog goes to see the fakir, the Gumboyles accompany him. But as the hypnotist demonstrates his skills, he hypnotizes Kev... and himself, too. He now believes he is a real fakir. Dr. Dog has no choice but to take everybody home. But here, things go from bad to worse: the fakir worships Fiona whom he takes for a servant of the Grand Pachi, sage of prosperity.

Production notes

Proving that laughter is the best medicine, Dr. Dog comes to television in a series combining irreverent humor, quirky characters, action and adventure. Dr. Dog is a dedicated doctor who will do anything to help those in need - even if it means getting himself into some absurd or even perilous situations. When he's not seeing patients, or doing rounds at St. Bernard's Hospital, he's taping his popular TV talk show, "Ask Dr. Dog," lecturing at international conferences, or conducting important medical research. At the same time, as the Gumboyle family's pet, he's a loyal dog. It's a challenge leading this double life, but Dr. Dog is ready to handle anything.

Adapted from Babette Cole's world best-seller.

This series also includes 52 one-minute educational fillers.
