Summary[]

To avoid starvation, Ren and Stimpy get jobs as firedogs, but it is not as easy as it seems.

Plot[]

Ren and Stimpy are wandering the streets and starving, until they come upon a poster asking for fire dogs, although they can only be Dalmatians, much to Ren's chagrin. The duo decide to disguise themselves to get food, shelter and (most importantly) money from the fire department. Since Ren is a Chihuahua and Stimpy is a cat neither of them even closely appear to be dalmatians, but thanks to some "dalmatian paint" they quickly appear to be fire dog-worthy dalmatians. The duo get an alert about a burning building and rescue a series of animals thrown out of the window (including Mr. Horse, who as usual doesn't like the experience). After rescuing Mrs. Buttloaves, (or rather, Mrs. Buttloaves rescuing Ren after he passes out) the heroes are rewarded. The Fire Chief awards Ren and Stimpy the golden fire hydrant helmets. A group of dogs (including Jasper and Mrs. Buttloaves) are then seen, and they all clearly need to go to the bathroom.

Ask Dr. Stupid[]

  • From: Billy
  • Location: Lompoc, West Kansas
  • Question: Why do I have to go to school?
  • Answer: Because your parents are aliens! And while you're at school, they shed their human skins and breathe dryer lint!

Trivia/Goofs[]

Dalmation

Dalmatian is misspelled on the fire dog poster and can of paint.

  • Ren's can of paint and the fire dog poster misspells Dalmatian as "Dalmation".
  • Ren's tail keeps disappearing and reappearing throughout the episode.
  • The version of this episode on Spike TV doesn't include "Ask Dr. Stupid" or the "Log for Girls" commercials.
  • The episode has a sequel aired in the Adult Party Cartoon entitled "Fire Dogs 2" although it has little to do with this episode. Prior to the episode's original airing, this episode aired beforehand.
  • The Fire Chief is loosely based on John Kricfalusi's former boss, Ralph Bakshi.
