Puppy Dog Pals is a US TV show aimed at pre-school children. First released on Disney Junior on April 14, 2017. It has gone on to become a fan favorite amongst children and adults alike; and one reason we can attribute to this is the catch Puppy Dog Pals Theme Song.
The popular series follows animated pug puppy dogs, Bingo and Rolly as they adventure around their world.
Puppy Dog Pals was originally known as Puppy Dog Tails in the pilot. It is an American computer-animated children’s television series created by Harland Williams.
About Puppy Dogs Pals
So maybe you are indeed wondering what Puppy Dog Pals is. Or maybe you have seen your little ones (not just the kids, but your puppies as well) get so hyped for it. Well, let’s break it down for you.
Puppy brothers Bingo and Rolly like to be around Bob, their owner, and help him do various activities. While he is away, they travel across the neighbourhood and complete exciting missions. They also have a kitty sister named Hissy and a robot dog named A.R.F. (Auto-Doggy Robotic Friend).
The puppy dog pals are fun to watch, and no doubt sometimes some adults can get swept up in the antics.

The “Puppy Dog Pals” theme song is composed by Andy Bean. It consists of Bingo and Rolly and their normal lives; along with the many missions they’ve gone and are going to go on. It also features a bunch of goofy and silly noises, including the puppy turntable.
The lyrics are a little monotonous, so kids have no problem remembering them. It’s also upbeat, and kids have a lot of fun singing along to the melodious tune. Here are the lyrics.
(Main Title Theme by Andy Bean)
(arf arf arf)
Bingo and Rolly, couple of puppies
They bark and chase and chew

And there’s a guy named Bob who makes up inventions
A couple puppies can use
But when Bob’s away

See you later, pups!
The pups will pla-ay-ay
On a mission around the world
Trying to save the day

The owner of Bingo, Rolly, Hissy, and A.R.F. He works as an industrial designer/product designer a.k.a. an “inventor.” In the season 2 premiere “A New Pup in Town,” Bob modified the fence between his and Chloe’s house; so that Keia can play with Bingo, Rolly and Hissy and they can all visit each other’s homes; without having to dig under the fence and made a new collar for Keia (since her old one fell off); which she wears during missions with Bingo and Rolly.
Hissy
(voiced by Jessica DiCicco) —

(fully known as Auto-Doggy Robotic Friend; voiced by Tom Kenny)
A robotic dog that Bob invented. He first appears in the episode “A.R.F.” and was updated by Bob in “Go Dog Go.” He always refers to himself in the third person in every episode; with the exception of “Go Dog Go” and “How ARF Got His Voice Back.”
