What's the Story?

When their humans are away, Holm and his favorite toy, Button, are ready for fun. Whether racing their friends, playing golf with kitchen utensils, or trying to be a superhero, they use their imagination for pup-tastic adventures.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 1 ):
Kids say : Not yet rated

The show offers classic cartoon gags in simple storylines that are easy to follow for everyone, from preschoolers to adults, but it's nothing more than that. While the Dog Days Out characters look cute, the stories have no point: It's just for fun. And the fun isn't that exciting. Plus, there could be a bit too many bathroom jokes for some.
