Leader Dog (partially lost Nickelodeon animated short series; 2004)

Leader Dog title card

Status: Partially Lost

Leader Dog is a 3 minute animated short series created by Larry Schwarz that aired on Nicktoons from April 18, 2004 to at least 2008. The series told the adventures of an ordinary dog captured by a race of aliens who mistook them for "Earth's leader", living on their home planet and introducing them to the world of being a dog. Most episodes revolve around Leader introducing the aliens to a dog-like activity, such as drinking toilet water or chasing after mailmen.

Like many Nicktoons short series, Leader Dog has fallen into obscurity due to its sporadic air times and general lack of exposure. Thankfully, some faithful YouTubers have come to the rescue and unearthed several of the show's episodes. Unfortunately, of the 13 episodes produced, nearly half of them remain to be seen.
