TV ACRES: Dogs > Cartoon Canines > Underdog (Voiced by Wally Cox)

Underdog (voice of Wally Cox) is the alter ego of a humble, mild-mannered dog named Shoeshine Boy who lives in Washington, D.C.

Wearing a red monogrammed shirt sporting a large letter U, and a blue cape, Underdog soars through the air to battle the likes Batty Man, Captain Marblehead, Fearo the Ape, underworld boss Riff Raff and evil scientist Simon Bar Sinister.

Underdog's arsenal of powers include super-strength, super-hearing and X-ray vision. Our heroic canine's catchphrase is "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!"

Underdog's girlfriend is TV reporter Sweet Polly Purebred (voice of Norma McMillan) who cries "Oh where, Oh where has my Underdog gone?" in times of crisis. Sensing her peril Underdog proclaims "Hark! When Polly calls, I am not slow -- It's Hip! Hip! Hip! and away I go!"
