Dinky Dog is a Saturday morning animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions 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. Following the original network run of The All New Popeye Hour, Dinky Dog was given its own half-hour timeslot in syndication. Thirty-two 11-minute installments of Dinky Dog were produced; two were aired per 30-minute episode.
The show is about two girls, ditzy blonde Sandy (voiced by Jackie Joseph) and smart, sensible, bespectacled brunette Monica (voiced by Julie Bennett), living with their uncle, Dudley (voiced by Frank Nelson). Sandy bought a cute pup named Dinky (voiced by Frank Welker) who suddenly grew the size of a horse. She 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.
Visual Entertainment released Dinky Dog: The Complete Series on DVD in Region 1 (Canada only) on February 19, 2008. On October 14, 2011, VEI (distributed by Millennium Entertainment) released the complete series on DVD in the US.
