The Puppy and its three sequels were frequently rebroadcast on ABC Weekend Special and proved so popular with its annual replays that ABC commissioned a television series. In 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 re-titled The Puppy's Further Adventures.

    The Puppy was originally introduced in four half-hour television specials which aired as part of the ABC Weekend Special series.

    Season 1 – The Puppy's New Adventures (1982–83)

    In the first season, Petey and Dolly's family were 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.

    Season 2 –The Puppy's Further Adventures (1983–84)

    The second season opened with a two-part episode in which the dogs are finally reunited with Tommy's family. The rest of the season featured the dogs' adventures with the family while travelling all around the United States.
