Quirky but appealing, crass but informative, Dr. Dog is the Gumboyle family's pet beagle who provides health advice when they most need it, such as "don't scratch your bum and suck your thumb." Dr. Dog also gives competent counsel regarding certain culinary treats and their potential impact. Gross but funny, Dr. Dog provides digestible information.
