K9, Doctor Who's faithful companion, will prove top dog when he moves away from the good doctor to headline his own animated series. 

The London Times reports Jetix Europe will team up with Park Entertainment to make 26 episodes of the computer generated K9 Adventures.

Doctor Who veterans Bob Baker and Paul Tams will update the mechanical wonder with state of the art CGI that will give K9 a sleek new look that should appeal to younger viewers.
