One of the main characters is a dog. In the first episode it is implied that he was killed and given to his partner as a gift. However, this turns out to be untrue and everything is okay!

I agree with the comment above but for added context, Sam and Max are private investigators. Freelance Police is a title they made up themselves, but they are only referred to as Freelance Police.

adding to past comment - this instance happens in "Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space", not this series. there is nothing homophobic in this series if my memory serves me correctly.

Probably the only time Sam & Max don't use guns, though there's plenty of rocket launchers and flamethrowers.
