''Watch My Chops'' (also known as ''Corneil et Bernie'' and ''Corneil & Bernie'' in France and the USA respectively) is an animated television series about [[SmartAnimalAverageHuman Corneil, a highly intelligent dog who can talk, and Bernie, his dimwitted pet-sitter.]]

Corneil downplays his intelligence in front of his owners, John and Beth, so he can continue living as their spoilt and pampered pet, but his plans go awry when Bernie discovers that he can talk. Bernie agrees to keep Corneil's secret, but often takes advantage of knowing about his true nature. Despite this, they become close friends, and Corneil often helps Bernie out with his superior intelligence.
