The pilot of *Inuwari‑san* was originally intended as a TV series that was later cancelled. It was screened at the 2009 Tokyo International Anime Fair and developed under Miyagi Prefecture's Miyagi e‑Brand Establishment Support Project. The story follows a canine (inu) police officer (omawari‑san) who loves law, order, and tea, and vows to be the infallible “sweeper of evil.”
