Meet the Goofy Guards
Yippee, Yappee, and Yahooey are three silly dogs who work for the King. They are his special Royal Guards! Their main job is to always protect, serve, and obey the King. The King often calls them his "goofy guards" because they can be quite clumsy.
These three heroes are a bit like the famous Three Musketeers. They often find themselves in funny situations, sometimes even fighting a fire-breathing dragon or other bad guys! A funny thing about the show is that sometimes the voices of Yippee, Yappee, and Yahooey would get mixed up. Yahooey's voice sounded a lot like the famous comedian Jerry Lewis.
