Dog City is a Canadian-American children's television series produced by Nelvana that aired from 1992 to 1994. It is a combination of live-action and animation and is based on the premise that many of the city's dogs have human-like characteristics and run their own parallel society within the human world. The show is set in a gritty, film noir-style city, with dogs as the main characters.

The protagonist of the show is Ace Hart, a private eye dog who runs his own detective agency in the city. Ace and his assistant, a wisecracking brown dog named Eddie, are often hired to solve mysteries and crimes that occur in Dog City. They are also aided by a cast of recurring characters, including Rosie O'Gravy, a beautiful and crafty French poodle who is Ace's love interest, and Bugsy Vile, a mob boss bulldog who often serves as the show's primary antagonist.

The show was notable for its clever use of both live-action and animation, seamlessly blending the two to create a unique and visually stunning world. The live-action portions of the show were shot in black and white, giving it a distinct film noir feel, while the animation was bright and colorful, bringing the dogs and other animals to life in a way that was both fun and believable.

The voice cast was also impressive, featuring several notable actors and voice actors. John Stocker provided the voice of Ace Hart, while Kevin Clash, best known for his work as the voice of Elmo on Sesame Street, voiced Eddie. Fran Brill, another Sesame Street alum, voiced Rosie O'Gravy, and Stuart Stone provided the voice of Bugsy Vile. Other voice actors included Tabitha St. Germain, Stephen Ouimette, Elizabeth Hanna, Ron White, James Rankin, Howard Jerome, and Joey Mazzarino.

The show was popular with both children and adults, thanks to its clever writing and clever use of classic film tropes. Each episode featured a new mystery or crime for Ace and Eddie to solve, and the writers managed to keep things fresh by introducing new characters and scenarios in each episode. The humor was often tongue-in-cheek, with nods to classic detective movies and television shows, as well as pop culture references that would appeal to adults.

Overall, Dog City was a unique and entertaining show that blended live-action and animation in a way that had not been done before. Its clever writing, talented voice cast, and visually stunning presentation made it a hit with audiences of all ages, and it remains a beloved cult classic to this day.

Dog City is a series that ran for 3 seasons (49 episodes) between September 26, 1992 and on Nelvana
