Featherweight

Grandpa isn't getting any younger, and when his vertebrae lock, Dr. Dog tells him there's nothing he can do. Grandpa will have to wait until they unlock. But as Grandpa proves a very difficult and tiresome patient, Dog cobbles together a "flying armchair." Now, he can get about without bothering the other Gumboyles, thanks to the H467, a gas in pills, which makes the armchair lighter than air. Meanwhile, Fiona, who is worried about her weight hampering her during an "aerial dance" contest, also swallows an H467 pill. And grows ever so light! So light a little draft sweeps her off and away. It's up to Dr. Dog to catch her and bring her back to firm ground!

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.
