Dog House is a Canadian comedy television series broadcast by YTV in the 1990-91 season.
During a car accident, a police detective's mind is swapped with the mind of Digby, his St Bernard dog partner on duty. Helen Underwood (Shelley Peterson), the officer's sister-in-law, takes custody of Digby where he joins her children Annabelle (Valentina Cardinalli), Richie (Jaimz Woolvett) and Timmy (Jonathan Shapiro). Now inhabiting Digby's body, the detective is able to talk with the family.
Former Ontario premier David Peterson, whose wife portrayed series character Helen Underwood, appeared in a guest role on the series as a school janitor.
David Hiltbrand of People panned the series, noting "[t]he humor is very forced. This pooch of a show arrived neutered." Tony Atherton of the Ottawa Citizen also derided the series as "a classically lame-brained TV situation without redeeming values".Greg Quill of the Toronto Star "contains not a whit of original thought nor anything resembling a line worthy of a giggle".
On 19 April 2016, Mill Creek Entertainment released Dog House - The Complete Series on DVD in Region 1.
