In 1964, a hero as powerful as Superman appeared on NBC, but with one key difference: he was a dog. Produced by Leonardo Productions, the cartoon Underdog achieved great success worldwide for its action-packed and humorous adventures.

In Underdog, we had the “humble and lovable” dog Shoeshine Boy, who to everyone was just a shoeshine boy, but who, using a magic cloak, was transformed into the mighty Underdog, a dog with the ability to fly and enormous strength.

When he heard the cry for help from his girlfriend, the sweet TV reporter Polly Purebred (“Oh, where, oh, where has my Underdog gone? Oh, where, oh, where can he be?”), Shoeshine Boy ducked into a telephone, where he transformed into the caped and costumed hero, humming the line, “When Polly’s in trouble, I am not slow. It’s hip-hip-hip, and AWAY I GO!!!”
