What was the name of the old TV show with a crime fighting dog who had a dumster!
Question: I used to eatch this show when I was little. I always seem to associate it with the Inspector Gaget cartoon. I think the dog wore goggle and a trench coat, and he could drive. He also had a sidekick. Can you help me out?

Hong Kong Phooey is supposedly a master of kung fu and other martial arts. The stories begin at the police headquarters, where Hong Kong Phooey's alter ego, Penry, works as a mild-mannered janitor. He works with Sergeant Flint (Sarge) and Rosemary, the telephone operator, who has a major crush on Hong Kong Phooey. After Rosemary gets a call and explains the criminals' crime (which is one of the only reasons they call), Penry would run into a filing cabinet to transform himself into Hong Kong Phooey. In each episode, he ends up needing help from his loyal (non-anthropomorphic) striped cat and sidekick, Spot, to get him out. Hong Kong never quite notices Spot's help, but instead is always proud of himself because he thinks he is the one who does everything.
Phooey would get into his Phooeymobile and would use the "bong of the gong" to turn it into whatever sort of vehicle best suited the occasion. He would find the thieves committing their crime. Mostly, Spot was the one who found a way to capture the criminals and foil their crime. But because Hong Kong was the reputed superhero, every time Spot would save the day, everyone else (including Phooey) credited Hong Kong Phooey with being the hero. Every episode would end with a return to police headquarters, where Penry would usually have some sort of accident that would cause Sarge to yell at him. Still, Penry was never hurt by Sarge's yelling but would find a way to compliment himself on his incognito crime-fighting prowess as Spot sighed.
A running gag was that Hong Kong Phooey was such a respected hero that, when his incompetence caused him to crash into, drench in water, or otherwise inconvenience a passerby, the passerby, seeming oblivious to any injury or embarrassment, would declare what an honor it was to have so interacted with "the great Hong Kong Phooey." On one occasion, for example, he drove the Phooeymobile through some wet cement, splattering the workers, who said that it was an honor to have a whole day's work ruined by "the great Hong Kong Phooey."
I'm going to chime in here as I loved this programme as a kid. Henry the mild mannered janitor???????? Could be!!!!!!!!!!!!!
