Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy

This was a pair made for cartoons if there ever was one. Augie and his dad were two bachelors traveling around and getting into adventures and misadventures with humorous results. Augie was clearly the brains of the operation, but he was never going to reveal that to his Jimmy Durante inspired "dear old dad." We never did find out what happened to Doggie Mommy?

Hong Kong Phooey

Only Hanna Barbera Studious could have thought to take the 1970's fads of "blacksploitation" and Kung Fu movies and make it into a kids cartoon show. They pulled it off, though, with this "number one super guy" that was voiced by the late, great Scatman Crothers. By day he's a mild mannered janitor working at the police station, but whenever there's trouble he jumps into the filing cabinet, dons a mask and a gi, and emerges as? a dog in a gi that knows kung fu. Good times all around.

Muttley

Appearing as the sidekick of the eternally villainous Dick Dastardly, Muttley the dog never said a word, but his wheezy snicker rings in the memory of anyone who ever saw an episode of The Wacky Races, The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, or Stop That Pigeon.
