The show lampoons celebrity stardom in various ways; for example, many of the characters based on real celebrities have other voice actors impersonating their voices (such as Steve-O from Jackass and Wildboyz, who appeared in the third episode).
Set in the streets of Hollywood, the series follows a young beagle named Buddy, who separated from his 10-year-old owner Jeffy in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and a bulldog named Woof (to whom Buddy refers as obsessed), as he runs away from his owner. Both dogs are avoided by the Dog Catcher.

Leonard Pitts of the Miami Herald said that "MTV misses mark with offensive 'woofie' cartoon."[3]
MTV and the show received angry responses from the African-American community for "depicting black women squatting on all fours tethered to leashes and defecating on the floor"[4] in an episode depicting Snoop Dogg ("Woofie Loves Snoop").
