ProSieben.Sat1 will now work to secure a variety of best-in-class licensing partners for the series in multiple international markets; however, further details regarding the upcoming merchandising program have not been disclosed. “Pat the Dog” will also serve as the agency’s first global franchise.

With ‘Pat the Dog,’ we have acquired a high-quality CGI animation that occupies a unique brand position between ‘boysy’ superheroes and ‘girly’ princesses.”
