''Teacher's Pet'' was a Disney animated television series that ran from 2000 to 2002 and was concluded with TheMovie in 2004. Noteworthy for its unique and edgy style of animation, thanks to its creator, the famed illustrator [[http://www.garybaseman.com/ Gary Baseman]], not to mention the star talent of Nathan Lane in the lead role.

The story follows a dog named Spot, who can think and talk. Spot dreams of being a real boy like his owner, Leonard Helperman, whose mom is a teacher [[PunnyName (Get it?)]]. In order to fulfill his dreams, Spot dresses up as a boy named Scott Leadready the Second and attends school with Leonard.

[[TheMovie The movie]] details Leonard and Spot's summer adventures in Florida. After a strange dream parodying Pinochio and a [[CrowdSong rousing rendition of the theme song]], Spot ends up going out to finally turn himself into a real human being. [[spoiler: In the end, he decides he'd rather just be a dog with a family, than a human with no one.]]

Cute Shotaro Boy has been renamed to Adorably Precocious Child. The trope is a young child who is considered cute because they try to act mature and responsible beyond their years. Due to heavy misuse, Zero Context Examples and entries that don\'t fit the description will be deleted.


* CuteShotaroBoy: As much as the art style can allow, Leonard definetly qualifies for this trope.
