Most of the storylines focus on his attempts to acquire [[TheStoner marijuana]], [[AllMenArePerverts sex]] or [[AuthorAppeal both]]. Storylines have focused variously on topics ranging from real-life based topics, including relationships, politics and racism, to more surreal subject matter, including [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies Zombies]] and AlienAbduction. Baranoff, who is of Russian, Irish, Scottish, Black African, Spanish and Native American origin, partly wrote it as a BeastFable about individualism, free love, interracial romance and libertarianism.

Created in 2003, ''Bob The Dog'' was the first underground comic to produce a webcomic spinoff (in 2009). ''Bob The Dog'' has been criticized for what some readers perceive as VulgarHumor, because of its high level of [[ClusterFBomb profanity]] and (initially) [[{{Fanservice}} nudity]] (which has been toned down over the years). In 2015, Baranoff announced that the comic had been renamed to the title of its main character to avoid confusion with the name of the publisher, Horndog Studios; the name later reverted back to ''Horndog'' when it moved over to Oriental Studios.

The comic's creator identifies the series as a "Funny Aminal" comic, instead of using the terms FunnyAnimal or UsefulNotes/{{Furry|Fandom}}. Its fans are known as "[[FanCommunityNicknames Horndogs]]".

* SpinOff: The main character in ''Webcomic/HereWolf'' made its debut in this comic, then went on to star in his own series, with a different plotline involving an InterspeciesRomance with a ''human'' female.
* TakeThat: Quite a few of these.
** Hot Topic is a reocurring one.
** Politics: Alex Jones and Bill O'Reilly have gotten a couple of these. Not to mention, Herman Cain, UsefulNotes/BarackObama, UsefulNotes/SarahPalin...
*** Averted when Baranoff almost put up a comic making fun of Creator/MichaelMoore, but took it down, not because he felt Moore was undeserving of satire, but because he felt he was coming down on the left too much and decided to switch it up and make fun of a right-wing figure, Sarah Palin.
** Music: Otep, Murder by Death and Music/TilaTequila are all the subject of mockery.
** Creator/WaltDisney: Characters that look like silhouettes of MickeyMouse and WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} are portrayed as Neo-Nazis who try to murder Bob.
** The character Alpha looks like WebComic/RaineDog. Considering [[http://isaacbaranoff.deviantart.com/art/I-got-99-problems-and-a-bitch-ain-t-one-276000426 Baranoff's interactions]] with Creator/DanaSimpson and the fact that Alpha is as a pretentious and hypocritical AlphaBitch GranolaGirl, this probably isn't a ShoutOut.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Freddy commits suicide, returns as a zombie, is killed by Bob, and is reincarnated as a teenage boy, only to once again be killed by a chupacabra.

** Movies: Among them ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'', ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968'' and ''Film/TheyLive''.
*** [[Film/HalfBaked Billy Bong Thornton]]
** Music: Many, including Music/BadBrains, Music/BadReligion, Music/BlackFlag, Music/BrothaLynchHung, Music/KottonmouthKings, Music/IceCube, Music/InsaneClownPosse, Music/{{Opeth}}, Music/{{Slipknot}}, Music/FrankZappa, Music/{{Twiztid}} and Zug Izland.
*** Subtle one. The character Tommy is a '''rat'''. The band Music/{{Primus}} has a song called "Tommy the '''Cat'''". Obviously intended as wordplay/tribute.
*** Music/TechN9ne is responsible for the acronym "F.U.N."[[note]]'''F'''uck '''U''' Niggas.[[/note]]
** "[[Creator/CheechAndChong Uh, Dave's not here]]"
* SlidingScaleOfComedyAndHorror: Primarily comedy; {{Horror}} elements sometimes played as parody, sometimes straight.



* SpinOff: The main character in ''Webcomic/HereWolf'' made its debut in this comic, then went on to star in his own series, with a different plotline involving an InterspeciesRomance with a ''human'' female.
* TakeThat: Quite a few of these.
** Hot Topic is a reocurring one.
** Politics: Alex Jones and Bill O'Reilly have gotten a couple of these. Not to mention, Herman Cain, UsefulNotes/BarackObama, UsefulNotes/SarahPalin...
*** Averted when Baranoff almost put up a comic making fun of Creator/MichaelMoore, but took it down, not because he felt Moore was undeserving of satire, but because he felt he was coming down on the left too much and decided to switch it up and make fun of a right-wing figure, Sarah Palin.
** Music: Otep, Murder by Death and Music/TilaTequila are all the subject of mockery.
** Creator/WaltDisney: Characters that look like silhouettes of MickeyMouse and WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} are portrayed as Neo-Nazis who try to murder Bob.
** The character Alpha looks like WebComic/RaineDog. Considering [[http://isaacbaranoff.deviantart.com/art/I-got-99-problems-and-a-bitch-ain-t-one-276000426 Baranoff's interactions]] with Creator/DanaSimpson and the fact that Alpha is as a pretentious and hypocritical AlphaBitch GranolaGirl, this probably isn't a ShoutOut.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Freddy commits suicide, returns as a zombie, is killed by Bob, and is reincarnated as a teenage boy, only to once again be killed by a chupacabra. Then he reappears without explanation during the New Year's storyline solely for the purpose of being killed by a {{Stepford Smil|er}}ing AxCrazy [[InvertedTrope Lemming]].
%% * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Faygo to



* UnusualEuphemism: "Neden" (vagina).
* UpdatedRerelease: Issues 1 & 2 were reissued as ''Horndog Archives #1'', with additional material not in the original published version.
* VerbalTic: The word "the" is printed as "th'" many times.



* WhiteVoidRoom: Bob is sometimes shown talking in front of a white background, in a stylistic ShoutOut to [[ComicBook/AmericanSplendor Harvey Pekar]].
* WolverinePublicity: Bob's appearances in ''Webcomic/HereWolf'' qualify as this.

Fetish Fuel is not a trope and shouldn't be linked to as one. In-universe examples are the Fetish trope instead.


* FetishFuel:[[invoked]] Invoked by Tommy, who eats "more than [he] can stomach" to attract readers from that fetish.
