Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. “Decoy for a Dognapper” is a rarity in that Scooby-Doo (Don Messick) brings a case to the gang after witnessing a dognapper steal a prize dog away from its owner, making it the latest in a series of dognappings. While things will get a splash of supernatural about halfway through the episode, the theft of dogs is also notable for being one of the most simple mysteries the gang ever investigated.
