Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy are two Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters who debuted on The Quick Draw McGraw Show and appeared in their own segment. The segments centered on the misadventures of a dachshund father-and-son team.[1] Doggie Daddy (voiced by Doug Young with a Brooklyn accent, based on a Jimmy Durante impersonation) tried to do the best he could at raising his rambunctious son Augie (voiced by Daws Butler).[2] The characters have made appearances outside of their series, including in their own video game and in Yogi's Ark Lark and its spin-off series.
