Dinky Dog
Dinky Dog is a Saturday morning animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Australia which aired on CBS from September 9, 1978 to September 5, 1981. It was Hanna-Barbera's first show created and produced in Australia.
Dinky Dog was originally broadcast as an 11-minute segment on The All New Popeye Hour. When The All New Popeye Hour was shortened to a half-hour and retitled The Popeye and Olive Comedy Show in September 1981, Dinky Dog was spun off into a show of its own, packing two 11-minute instalments per half-hour episode.
Summary
The show is about two girls, ditzy blonde Sandy and smart, sensible, bespectacled brunette Monica, living with their Uncle Dudley. Sandy bought a cute puppy named Dinky, who suddenly grew to the size of a polar bear. Sandy is now stuck dragging Monica into always finding work and different ways to repair the damages Dinky causes at their poor uncle's expense. Sure enough, however, Dinky always seems to fix things in an unexpected way and is forgiven, much to Uncle Dudley's dislike.In the second portion of the series, Dudley takes the nieces for a world tour on a rented leisure boat, giving Dinky a chance to cause mishap on the different continents for more adventures.
