* AnimalTalk: Dogs can speak to each other, but when speaking to humans the humans just hear them barking or growling. Unusually, they can ''not'' communicate with other animals, and each species is implied to have its own language.

* NearlyNormalAnimal: Chubb and Chauncey mostly act like regular dogs, but are about as smart as precocious children and can do things like turn on and off the television set. They sometimes walk on all fours and sometimes on two legs, and have opposable thumbs ([[LampshadeHanging something Chubb claims is not so strange, because most cartoon dogs have thumbs]]). They can speak to each other and other animals, but when speaking to humans the humans just hear them barking or growling.

!! This comic strip contains examples of the following tropes:
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The spoiled poodle Precious is this to Chauncey. While he's got enough pedigree to take part in dog shows, he tends to scrape in second or third place at best. Precious, by comparison, stars in movies.
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Anyone Abby leaves to look after the dogs.
* BlackBestFriend Maddison to Abby.
* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: When Chubb gets kidnapped (long story), his kidnapper suggests that he sees himself more as "borrowed." Chubb is not convinced.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Upon hearing sirens and screeching tires in the distance, the dogs know that Abby's mother has taken the car to come visit.
* IfIDoNotReturn: Chubb starts telling this to Chauncey when Abby volunteers him as a guard dog for her mom (who lives in a horrible neighbourhood and recently had a breakin). [[NoSympathy Chauncey interrupts him saying that he doesn't want any of Chubb's stuff.]]
* LethalChef: Abby can't seem to cook anything fit for human consumption. That works out well for Chubb, who is happy to eat the scorched remains of her efforts.
* NearlyNormalAnimal: Chubb and Chauncey mostly act like regular dogs, but are about as smart as precocious children and can do things like turn on and off the television set. They sometimes walk on all fours and sometimes on two legs, and have opposable thumbs ([[LampshadeHanging something Chubb claims is not so strange, because most cartoon dogs have thumbs]]). They can speak to each other and other animals, but when speaking to humans the humans just hear them barking or growling.
* SayMyName: One strip has Abby furiously shouting Chubb's name over and over again. Chubb, cowering in a hiding place, unhappily thinks that he hates conversations that start like that.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Abby's mother is this to the dogs.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Chauncey considers himself by far the most important person in the world. The world does not agree.
* SnobsVersusSlobs: The premise of the strip. Chauncey is the snob, Chubb is the slob.
* TheUnseen: Arnie the pitbull terrier. [[TheDreaded Everyone lives in fear of him,]] but he never appears on screen.
