Synopsis

During the Bud Feast (spring celebrations), Miss Pickle, who has a crush on Grandpa since primary school, attempts, once more, to charm her "beau." When Grandpa gruffly rejects her advances, Miss Pickle unfairly accuses Kev of knocking her over with his skateboard. The old spinster demands that the Gumboyles put her up and look after her until she's fit to walk again... threatening to lodge a complaint against the young "juve" if they refuse.

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.
