Plot[]
The show follows two anthropomorphic animals, Ed, a cheerful but none-too-bright dog, and his polar opposite Buddy, a somewhat cynical but intelligent squirrel. Whereas Ed is well-liked by all, and extremely lucky, Buddy is furiously despised, and extremely unfortunate, almost sadistically so. Despite their differences, Ed and Buddy consider themselves best friends and have many adventures, and misadventures, in their town of Swellville (a play on Snellville), Canada, on 333 Sweet Street.
