Dinky Dog
is a
Saturday-morning animated series
produced by the
Australian division
of
Hanna-Barbera
, 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

[1]
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
[
edit
]
The show is about two girls: ditzy and beautiful blonde haired 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 buys a cute puppy named Dinky (voiced by
Frank Welker
), which suddenly grows 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.
