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 Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC and later Toon Disney, from 2000 to 2002.
Premise
The series follows Leonard Helperman (voiced by Shaun Fleming), a 9-year-old boy in the 4th grade, who lives in fear because his mother, Mary Helperman (Debra Jo Rupp), 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 (voiced by Nathan Lane and later on for a few episodes by Nathan's voice understudy, Kevin Schon) misses Leonard while he's 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.

Film
On January 16, 2004, Walt Disney Picture produced a full-length animated feature film based on the show in theaters, simply titled Teacher's Pet. Originally planned to be released in September 2003, it serves as the end of the series' continuity.
When Spot sees a mad scientist on TV who can turn animals into humans, he sees this as a chance to become an actual boy. However, when Spot becomes human, he soon realizes the experience isn't what he thought after all. Most of the actors from the series reprised their roles for the movie. The movie was a box office failure, only making over half of its budget back. Despite this, the critical reviews were mostly positive.

Notes
- Voiced Spot/Scott in six episodes in Season Two
- The series stopped airing new episodes in early February, but reruns continued until September 7, 2002.
- When the series originally aired on ABC and Toon Disney, it made use of the "Pan and Scan" method since widescreen televisions weren't readily available at the time
- Episodes would be in widescreen when syndicated to some networks overseas, as seen in the "International broadcast" below.
- In Australia, it aired on Disney Channel from 2001 to 2005 where it was pushed back to the mornings and late night spots on Disney Channel. The show's spot was then replaced in 2006 by 101 Dalmatians and finally Recess which currently is the only One Saturday Morning cartoon now airing on Disney Australia.
- The Christmas episode "The Blight Before Christmas" was skipped during Disney's airings of Season Two and it didn't air until February 19, 2004 on Super RTL for unknown reasons.[11] The episode eventually reran numerous times on Toon Disney.
- The network squishes the 16:9 widescreen episodes into the 4:3 ratio. In early June 2017, the show (along with Lilo and Stitch) briefly aired in the letterbox format before resetting back to the previous format for unknown reasons.
