The animated series changes Peter's origin considerably, portraying him as an ordinary dog. A coward in nature, he was picked on by the other neigborhood dogs. One day Peter decided to prove his worth by attacking a running vacuum cleaner. His fear turns out to be well-justified as vacuums are canine-sensitive trans-dimentional portals. Peter is flung through time and space and eventually lands on the Planet Heck where Evil the Cat places a curse on him. The curse gives Peter human intelligence and his anthropomorphic form, but also causes his transformations. He eventually finds Jim and the two become good friends, with Peter serving as Jim's unofficial sidekick. He has a much bigger role in the cartoon series than in the games, appearing in almost every episode. He was voiced by Jeff Bennett, who also voiced the show's narrator.

Despite his cowardice, Peter is always willing to accompany Jim on his adventures, acting as Jim's consultant when Jim goes astray, as well as providing Jim's moral support. Peter can, at times, be very sarcastic and is not afraid to speak his mind. Peter is very artistic and has dabbled in many different forms of expression such as interperative dance, gourmet cooking, and play acting.
