Pup Academy is a children's fantasy series and spinoff of the Air Bud franchise. It was released in 2019.Since the time of the first dog, the prestigious Pup Academy has taught puppies everything they need to know about being man's best friend. With the magic of Canus Primus, a constellation created by the bond between dogs and humans, the Academy's adorable students travel to school every day, returning to their homes each night.But times are changing, and the light of Canus Primus is fading- putting the school itself at risk. Its Dean takes drastic action, enrolling a very special pup in the school; a stray dog. The stray he chooses, Spark, is a hardened Boxer who doesn't trust humans. But she will have to learn, for the Academy- and the friends she's made there- are in danger...Related series are Super PupZ and Phantom Pups, other productions from Air Bud Entertainment.

A Boy and His X: Several pairs. The main plotline is Spark's From Stray to Pet journey with Morgan. Charles and (the) D.O.G watch over the Academy. Izzy and Corazon, the subject of her amateur films.

 Pup Academy / int_33981caf
comment
Street Urchin: Spark's backstory mostly consists of stealing food, fleeing dog-catchers and the gang bent on (forcibly) recruiting her, and sleeping in a box. The reason she's an orphan is that her parents were taken away by Animal Control.

Power Crystal: The "Heart of Friendship" hidden in the Canus Primus statue is mostly a glowy meter of how strong the dog/human relationship is, but there's a reason the Big Bad wants to get his paws on it.

The Power of Love
 Pup Academy / int_6a696742
comment
The Power of Love: Inter-species talking can only be done between conversationalists who have been at Pup Academy for awhile note two months is considered late for the ability to manifest and truly love a member of the species they're talking to. Izzy and Corazon don't fit the second criteria yet, but they understand each other well enough that, ironically, they don't really need it.

 Pup Academy / int_77e73dc7

Food as Bribe: The D.O.G convinces Spark to go to school by telling her meals are provided. Because Spark has previously had to steal food to live (and protect it from other thieves), this is very appealing to her.

Cosmic Retcon
 Pup Academy / int_7cdfe326
comment
Cosmic Retcon: The reason humanity can love dogs is because of a huge magical working that took place sometime around Ancient Egypt (incidentally ending cat worship). If the gem enabling this working is broken, most humans instantly switch to loathing dogs, forgetting they ever did otherwise. The one guy who remembers the truth is desperate to get everyone sane (insane?) again.

 Pup Academy / int_b580e394
comment
This Is My Human: The source of many of the series' jokes. Dogs believe that humans play fetch because they like throwing balls around. Strays believe that humans walk dogs; the Academy teaches the opposite, encouraging puppies to keep their humans fit and not pull on their leashes too hard.

Hypocrite: The Academy teaches unconditional love...for humans. Not dogs without owners, which is why those dogs have never received the benefit of its education. The D.O.G, and most teachers, are aware of this hypocrisy and trying to rectify it.

Dog Stereotype: Sometimes played straight, sometimes not. Corazon is a ditzy, extroverted golden retriever. Gruff the corgi is a calm, queenly headmistress. D.O.G's fatherly personality subverts the husky stereotype.

A Dog Named "Cat": The first dog, Canus Primus, was actually a wolf. But when he protected a human from other wolves, he became a dog, philosophically speaking- a creature defined by its ability to be loyal to different species.
