The dogfather

DePatie, David H. (Added Author). Freleng, Friz. (Added Author).

Summary: Spoofing the 1972 blockbuster The Godfather (while paying homage to the classic gangster pictures of the 1930s and '40s) DePatie-Freleng's The Dogfather centers around a bumbling pack of canine mafiosi. Backed by his overgrown henchman Pug and the diminutive Louie (voice artist extraordinaire Daws Butler), the mumble-mouthed Dogfather (voiced by Bob Holt) unleashes his own breed of disorganized crime in a series of seventeen cartoons that were a conscious throwback to the golden age of animation.
