Pound Puppies (1986 TV series)
The story
Pound Puppies (known as All New Pound Puppies in its second season) is an American animated series made by Hanna-Barbera Productions and based on the toyline by Tonka, and acts as the sequel to the 1985 television special. Broadcast on ABC from September 13, 1986 until December 19, 1987, the franchise was rebooted for the 2010 series. 26 episodes (36 segments in total) were produced.
Plot
A young girl named Holly made it her mission to help protect her canine friends Cooler, Nose Marie, Bright Eyes, Howler, Whopper, and other pound puppies from her Aunt Katrina Stoneheart who hates dogs.
Katrina, her daughter, Brattina, and their pet feline Catgut devise elaborate schemes to sabotage the pound and even destroy the puppies outright, sometimes enlisting the help of the monstrous Captain Slaughter (in Season One), but Holly and her anthropomorphized canine friends always manage to come out on top.
