"Katts and Dog" was a Canadian-produced television series which ran from 1988 to 1992. It was known as "Rin Tin Tin K-9 Cop" in the United States where it originally aired on CBN Cable/The Family Channel (today ABC Family). CTV broadcast the series within Canada.

When the episodes were filmed—and shown in Canada—the dog’s name was “Rudy”. When the series was aired in the U.S. the name was dubbed as “Rinty” to go with the U.S. title.CRBS. [http://www.workingdefinition.com/?p=103 “Not coming to a TV near you”] WorkingDefinition.com (April 24, 2005)]
