Austrian
television series. Spoken in

The series is based around the crime-fighting adventures of Inspector Rex, a German Shepherd who works with the local constabulary.

At the end of an episode, after a hard day of crime-fighting, Inspector Rex enjoys a ham roll. The eating of the roll is often accompanied by laughter, as that crazy dog always gets his ham roll.
