Mein Onkel vom Mars Doggone Martian (1963–1966) Online

Tim finds a lost dog and brings him home hoping that Martin can find out from the dog where he lives. It ends up not being lucky for Martin since the dog, Tutu, drinks Martin, turning Tutu into a talking dog. You see, Martin's new gizmo has the ability to distillate animal and vegetative matter down to their water form, and to reverse the process to return the objects back to the original state. He distillates himself to be light enough to escape Earth's gravity, and with Tim's help in launching his spaceship, to return back to Mars. But first, he now has to separate himself from Tutu. But before that happens, Tutu gets caught by the dog catcher and gets sent down to the dog pound, from where Tutu's real owner picks her up. So when Tim goes down to the pound, he knows he's on the right track when the dog catcher tells tales about hearing voices when only dogs were around. At the home of the Frisby's, Tutu's owners, Tim has to convince them to let him have Tutu if only for a short time...

Martin uses "narishkeit" to liquify himself. Narishkeit is a Yiddish word meaning "foolishness."

The couple who own the dog are named Mr. and Mrs. Frisby. Mrs. Frisby is the main character in the novel Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, which was adapted into The Secret of NIMH.
