What We Think

'Puppy Dog Pals' is as harmless and non-woke as modern kids’ TV gets. It’s about puppies on adventures, not pushing any agendas. You can let your kids watch without worry; the only thing they've stuffed in here is wholesomeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is about two puppies going on lighthearted adventures. It doesn't push identity-focused narratives or sacrifice storytelling for the sake of representation. The characters’ traits are endearing and fit their roles as playful pets. Very low on the 'forced representation' meter.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little-to-no commentary on gender roles, religion, tradition, or family. The show is mostly apolitical and focuses on universal themes like friendship, curiosity, and teamwork. No detectable subversion of cultural touchstones here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No political or ideological slant to speak of. There’s no villainization of traditional or alternative views, it’s a kids’ cartoon about puppies. The world it presents is innocent and non-polemical.
