Dine and Dash are two criminal cats identified by stealing food. Dine and Dash often need to get past Von Ripper, a persistent guard dog, to steal food. They usually end up trying several different techniques to steal food and fail. It isn't Von Ripper who causes their plans to fail though, and instead, Dine and Dash themselves cause their own plans to backfire. This may be because they never planned the things that might happen during their scams.
