Storyline
A bomb-sniffing beagle is fired from the mayor's office for a faux pas. That night a mad scientist dognaps him and injects him with an elixir. The dog escapes, but now has superpowers. He's adopted by a security guard - an ex-cop, who's a widower with a moody teen son, Jack. The boy discovers that the dog, named Shoeshine by dad, has super powers, but it's their little secret. While Underdog saves people in distress, the mad scientist and his underling continue their plot to catch him and take over the city. There's also a girl Jack likes who has a dog that Shoeshine takes a shine to. Will every dog have his day? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Trivia
References to the original cartoon series include: - Secret identity as "humble and lovable Shoeshine Boy" - love interest "Sweet Polly Purebred" - speaking in rhyme - causing significant property damage during rescues - pill as source of super powers - changing into costume in exploding phone booth - explaining to crowd that he is "not plane, nor bird, nor even frog, just little old me: Underdog".

Revealing mistakes: When Underdog is re-entering Earth's atmosphere he starts to burn up, when he crashes back to earth and Jack rushes to him and picks him up, you can clearly see it is a puppet. See more »Quotes
