Synopsis

Strut destroys his house accidentally- and moves in with Dash while his house is being repaired. Strut is a terrible houseguest, and Dash doesn't know how to handle the situation. Should he tell him off? But that's not how you treat guests, is it? Poor Dash. When Strut forgets to give Dash an important message, which causes Dash to almost miss a race, Strut tries everything he can think of to make it up to Dash. They both learn that living together takes respect and communication.

Production notes

Adapted from the series of popular children's books by Bob Kolar, "Turbo Dogs" is a 3D computer-animated series set in Racerville, a town filled with dogs who are wild about racing. Each week, the canines encounter situations that require them to think through the "rules of the road" - issues that challenge the racers (and the television audience) to work hard, believe in themselves, play fair, and respect and get along with others.

Each half-hour episode consisted of two cartoons.
