Pound Puppies (film)
Pound Puppies is an animated television special, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, based on the popular toy line from Tonka, which aired in syndication on October 26, 1985, paired with Star Fairies. The story is a spoof of the 1963 film The Great Escape.
Characters in the special included the Fonzie-styled leader Cooler, the cheerleader Bright Eyes, and a dog with a very nasal like New York accent known only as "The Nose", and the goofy inventor aptly named Howler, who can only howl.
Plot
A female dog from a wealthy aristocratic family named Violet Vanderfeller is being pursued by dognappers when she is picked up and taken to the city pound. There, she meets the gang and discovers their mission to find homes for themselves. The film plot centers on Violet attempting to reunite with her family, ultimately succeeding. Two other dogs appeared in the special. They were the upper-class snob Barkerville and the garbage-can-digging Scrounger.Voice cast
