We bow down to Courage The Cowardly Dog

Courage the Cowardly Dog follows Courage, an easily frightened light purple cowardly dog. He lives in a farmhouse near the fictional town of Nowhere, Kansas with Muriel Bagge, a sweet-natured Scottish woman, and her husband Eustace, a grouchy, selfish, greedy farmer who constantly harasses Courage. Abandoned as a puppy, Courage was found in an alleyway by Muriel, who took him up as her own.

Courage, Muriel and Eustace frequently run into monsters, aliens, demons, mad scientists, zombies and other supernatural perils from myths and legends that Courage must fend off to save his owners, unbeknownst to them. Although most of the creatures that the three face are frightening or disturbing, some turn out to be sweet and simply in distress. The plot generally uses horror conventions, common to horror films.
