Fat Dog Mendoza is a fun animated children's show. It was made by Scott Musgrove. This show was a special co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States. It was also the first show made together with Cartoon Network Europe.
The story is about a very funny dog named Fat Dog Mendoza. He is super chubby, almost like a ball with tiny legs! He teams up with his friends: Little Costumed Buddy, Piranha Mae, and Onion Boy. They live in a made-up place called "Neighbourhood X". Their goal is to fight crime and find justice. But they often mess up in hilarious ways!
The show first aired in 1998 and ran until 2001. It was shown again on Cartoon Network UK until 2005. Interestingly, this show never aired in the United States. The idea for the show came from a Dark Horse comic book with the same name.
