Deputy Dawg is a Terrytoons cartoon character, featured on the animated television series of the same name that aired from 1960 to 1964.

The Deputy Dawg Show first ran weekly from September 8, 1960 to May 25, 1963. The British television debut came on BBC Television on August 31, 1963.

The cartoons originally featured Deputy Dawg, an anthropomorphic dog, as a deputy sheriff in Florida, though as the episodes progressed, the location changed to Mississippi, and later to Tennessee. The other main characters are the "varmints" Muskie Muskrat, Ty Coon, Vincent van Gopher, and Pig Newton, as well as Dawg's boss the Sheriff and his wife Mrs Deputy.

Much of the comedy in the cartoons is sight gag/action-based, with additional humour provided by comical dialects and stereotypical southern characteristics. Many storylines involve Deputy Dawg battling with peculiar locals and trying to please the Sheriff, as well as protecting his produce from Muskie and Vince.[6] However, most of Muskie's and Vince's crimes aren't taken very seriously, enabling Deputy Dawg to play around with them when they aren't causing trouble. The trio often engages in their favourite pastime, fishing for catfish.
