Teacher's Pet (also known as Disney's Teacher's Pet) is an American animated sitcom produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. [1]
The series follows a 9-year-old boy and his dog who dresses up as a boy. [2] Created by Gary Baseman—the artistic designer for the Cranium board game—Bill Steinkellner, and Cheri Steinkellner, it was broadcast on ABC from 2000-2002, and finishing its run on Toon Disney in 2002.
A feature-length film adaptation was theatrically released in the United States and Canada on January 16, 2004, which serves as a finale to the television series.
The series follows Leonard Helperman, a 9-year-old boy in the 4th grade, who lives in fear because his mother, Mary Helperman, is his teacher. Because of this, he is often mocked and called a "teacher's pet", but he wants to be considered normal. Meanwhile, his dog Spot misses Leonard while he is at school, and yearns to be a human boy. So on the first day of the school year, he decides to come to class disguised as a new student named Scott Leadready II, who quickly becomes the most popular, influential kid in school. However, Leonard eventually finds out his secret. Although he disapproves of this at first, he allows Spot to continue attending school.
