The Puppy's Further Adventures

Petey the puppy was originally introduced in four half-hour television specials which aired as part of ABC Weekend Specials series from 1978 to 1981: The Puppy Who Wanted a Boy, The Puppy's Great Adventure, The Puppy's Amazing Rescue and The Puppy Saves the Circus.{{cite book |last1=Hyatt |first1=Wesley |title=The Encyclopedia of Daytime Television |date=1997 |publisher=Watson-Guptill Publications |isbn=978-0823083152 |url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofda00hyat/page/352/mode/2up|access-date=19 March 2020|page=353}}

The Puppy Who Wanted a Boy and its three sequels were frequently rebroadcast on ABC Weekend Specials and proved so popular with its annual replays that ABC commissioned a television series. In September 1982, Petey could be seen weekly in The Puppy's New Adventures as part of the second half of The Scooby & Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour block with Billy Jacoby voicing Petey and Nancy McKeon as his female puppy girlfriend Dolly. The following year, Petey and his pals were given their own half-hour timeslot in a follow-up series under the new title The Puppy's Further Adventures. Following the show's original run, a repackaging of both seasons were shown in reruns under the title The Puppy's Great Adventures on ABC in 1984 and resurfaced on CBS in 1986.[http://saturdaymorningarchives.blogspot.ca/2014/12/literary-toons-puppys-furthergreat.html The Puppy's Further Adventures] at Saturday Morning Archives, retrieved September 14, 2015.

The first season featured Petey and Dolly's family moving overseas by ship; their friends Duke, Dash and Lucky stowed away on the same ship. All five dogs were stranded together when a lightning bolt knocked them overboard. Every episode consisted of the dogs looking for Tommy and his family, winding up in places as diverse as East Berlin, Australia, Hong Kong, Hawaii and usually helping out a local group of people or animals.
