[edit] Plot

The Dogfather was a parody of The Godfather, but with canines as part of the Italian organized crime syndicate. It consists of the Dogfather (voiced by Bob Holt impersonating Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone) and his henchmen Pug and Louie (both voiced by Daws Butler).[1]

The Dogfather was later broadcast as part of the NBC Saturday morning cartoon series The Pink Panther and Friends.[1]
