Synopsis
Augie builds a robot for Doggie Daddy for Father's Day. Augie sends in the robot with breakfast in bed and it scares Doggie Daddy. Doggie Daddy doesn't want the robot at first until Augie acts disappointed and Doggie Daddy gives in and accepts the robot.
The robot helps Doggie Daddy by making him coffee, toast and giving him a bath. However whenever Doggie Daddy says the wrong the thing each time and gets hit in the head when he asks for lumps, a toaster in the mouth when he asks for it straight away, and gets hung out to dry when he says to hang him out to dry.
Augie begs Doggie Daddy to give the robot another chance and he tells the robot to bring him a cigar and his paper. Then he asks for the cigar first, then the paper, and then light it. The robot shoves the cigar in his mouth then the paper then lights the paper. Doggie Daddy is fed up with it now and orders it to tidy up with the broom and dustpan before he will shut it off and he gets swept up and put in the trash.
When Doggie Daddy comes back in and asks for the broom and gets swatted over the head and the control box for the robot gets smashed. Now the robot is stuck on the last command until Augie can build a new one and it keeps chasing Doggie Daddy around and swatting him in the head with the broom.

Production notes
The Quick Draw McGraw Show was the third cartoon television production created by Hanna-Barbera following their success with The Ruff and Reddy Show and The Huckleberry Hound Show. The show debuted in syndication in the fall of 1959, and was sponsored by Kellogg's Foods. The series was in production for three years, with 45 episodes produced for syndication. The series was re-run on CBS's Saturday morning from 1963-66.
This component of the show featured a pair of father and son dogs who were representative of the motherless family programs that were in abundance on TV. Augie Doggie and his pop, Doggie Daddy, were inseparable. Augie adored his father and hung on his every word, even when it was obvious that his "dear old Dad" was in over his head.
