1* CultClassic: Remains a beloved bit of late 80s/early 90s nostalgia for the handful of gen-xers and millennials who saw it on Disney Channel as kids, even long after the station stopped rerunning it.
2* GirlsShowGhetto: The addition of the "dimension-hopping" element was supposedly done to avoid this trope. Executives at Disney felt the story needed to something to appeal to young boys.
3* HilariousInHindsight:
4** Both the characterization of and the relationship between Wagstaff and Hamish is reminiscent of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Mr. Burns and Smithers.]] Also for added hilarity, Wagstaff even climbs onto a giant stuffed bear in his office out of fear in the climax, which is also what Burns did at the climax of "Homer the Smithers".
5** The basic plot, anthropomorphic dogs entering various dimensions now feels like a furry precursor to ''Series/{{Sliders}}''.
6* UglyCute: The Phulumbus, a dinosaur-esque GentleGiant that seemed like a nuisance at first, [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass but ultimately served a great purpose for the heroes.]]
7* TheWoobie:
8** Jamie, who is put in dangerous situations time after time just for receiving a new "dog" for his birthday and trying to do the right thing by him and his friends. Plus, he's only a ten-year-old.
9** The Fluppy Dogs themselves for being thrust into an unfamiliar and unsafe world and due to their dog-like appearances, are treated by humans as such. Also, a local billionaire wants to add them to his collection of rare animals instead of allowing them to be free.
