DOGGED
DOGGED tells stories of love and loss in the canine owner community of Los Angeles. Season One focuses on the dating adventures of Margot Nugget, a stoner-economist and single mom, who lives with her son, Gregorio, and her loveable Labrador, Dr. Dre. Margot crushes on Lotus, a man bun-sporting shaman who creates havoc in the local dog park, and gets fixed up with a famous economist who has a deal-breaking fetish. Will Margot finish her unauthorized biography on Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen? Will 18-year-old Gregorio ever finish high school? Can Margot find true love with a fellow dog lover? Paws crossed.
