TURBO DOGS
is a show about six canine friends Dash, GT, Clutch, Stinkbert, Strut,
and Mags who have their own distinct characteristics but share a common
love of racing cars. The fastest dogs in Racerville, the Turbo Dogs
often compete with one another in races. The dogs each have their own
racers, which they maintain regularly, and that are equipped with
individual GPS systems to help and guide them. Each story begins with
one of the Turbo Dogs encountering a problem that must be resolved while
preparing to compete. Usually, the Turbo Dog learns his/her lesson
through experience and accountability for negative behavior.
Social-emotional messages about sportsmanship, teamwork, cooperation,
and fairness developed in the story are emphasized in a separate tag at
the end of each episode.
