The World Wide Woof is a communication system used by the dogs of Camden Town in 101 Dalmatian Street. A canine equivalent of the world wide web, the device is used for dogs to learn information and news from across town. To initiate a World Wide Woof call, a dog must bark a message and begin howling; nearby dogs howl until the message reaches its target.
The World Wide Woof recurs as a plot device throughout 101 Dalmatian Street, usually used by Dylan and/or Dolly during emergencies. Animation of dogs (most frequently Godfrey, Hansel, and Snowball) howling for the gag is reused in various episodes.
The World Wide Woof is heavily inspired by the Twilight Bark from the original 101 Dalmatians film.
