Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Hanna-Barbera created an animated TV special based on Tonka's popular line of stuffed dogs in 1985. A series appeared the next year which followed it closely, despite changing most of the voice cast. Both revolved around "the Pound Puppies", a group of dogs consisting of: Cooler, leader with a trademark laugh. Nose Marie, a melodramatic Southern Belle bloodhound. Bright Eyes, a perky cheerleader type. Howler, an eccentric inventor with Harpo Marx-like hair. Whopper, the diaper-wearing cute kid, who often lies and exaggerates.The Pound Puppies lived at a dog pound and helped other canines find good homes while taking a Masquerade as normal dogs. The puppies were cared for by their neighbor Holly, a kindly orphan girl who the dogs drop the disguise for and is a kind of Cool Big Sis. Holly lives with her guardian, an evil Cruella De Vil wannabe named Katrina Stoneheart, who hates The Pound Puppies (and dogs in general). Katrina was constantly plotting against them, with the help of her bratty daughter Brattina; their pet cat, Catgut, and occasional partner, Captain Slaughter.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The show was dramatically retooled for its second season, called The All-New Pound Puppies in the opening credits, including adding an Expository Theme Tune, dropping Captain Slaughter and reducing Howler's presence, and having Katrina run the pound like a prison to lock all the dogs up. The Pound Puppies and Holly were now freedom fighters who operated out of an Elaborate Underground Base, trying to save dogs from Katrina and hook them up with lonely kids.The premise was then retooled once more for the 1988 movie Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw, before disappearing completely, followed by the toy line in 1990. However, the toy range was briefly revived by two companies in The '90s (Playmates Toys in 1994, Galoob in 1996) before getting a more substantial reboot from Hasbro in 2007, which included its own TV tie-in. After that, the license went to Funrise in 2014.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })The sister line of toys, Pound Purries, never had the luxury of their own TV special or series, although they made a token appearance in The Movie as supporting characters.If you're looking for the newer series on The Hub, click here. | |

Villain Song | |
| Pound Puppies (1980s) / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: Katrina and her daughter Brattina frequently sing songs to themselves about their hatred of dogs and their intentions to do cruel things to them, but one notable song is "She's Grand Old Hag", a song sung by Brattina about her mother to the tune of "You're a Grand Old Flag" in the episode "Whopper Cries Uncle". As one might expect from a Musical Episode, Katrina gets two villain songs in "Garbage Night: The Musical", "Mutts Drive Me Nuts" (which gets a brief reprisal near the end of the episode) and a short number where she sings about capturing the Pound Puppies and making them into a fur coat. | |

Aborted Arc: Four episodes of the first season featured Captain Slaughter, a Dr. Claw-esque villain who was responsible for destroying the puppies' home in the first place and was Cooler's Arch-Enemy. When the show was retooled in its second season, he disappeared, his storyline never resolved. | |

Older Than They Look: Millicent Trueblood, the founder of the Puppy Pound shown in flashback in "How to Found a Pound". Cooler mentions that she passed away at the age of 101, but she looks like she can't be any older than her 60's. | |

| Pound Puppies (1980s) / int_35b241c0 | comment |
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: The Nose originally had a New York accent, then traded it in for a Southern drawl as Nose Marie. This may have been lampshaded in All-New Pound Puppies with one-shot rival Toots, who had a similar accent and was pointedly disliked by Team Mom Nose Marie. | |

Wardrobe Malfunction: Happened to Whopper on the Episode “Tail of a Pup”. While sneaking out of the Pound, the safety pin on his diaper fell off, not only letting his diaper fall down, but also alerting a nearby Robot. Ironically, Bright Eyes said not to “Let a Pin Drop”. | |

Getting Crap Past the Radar | |
| Pound Puppies (1980s) / int_4b86a724 | comment |
Getting Crap Past the Radar: Early in the episode "Snowbound Pound", Cooler is told by Nose Marie that she knows how she can keep him warm. Cooler admonishes her for her statement on the grounds that this is a cartoon. The episode "Where Do Puppies Come From?" features Cooler singing a song to explain, well, where do puppies come from to Whopper and Bright Eyes. The song is accompanied by a "stage play" in which two dogs are clearly seen laying together in a bed inside a Venetian gondola (after which Cooler trips and brings down the stage, knocking the two dogs off the bed and revealing that they are not wearing anything). Is almost a case of Refuge in Audacity, especially for a mid-1980s cartoon. The Brazilian dub of the episode actually got away with Bright Eyes mentioning that puppies come from their mother's vagina, instead of her tummy as in the original. Less provocative and more Squick is one instance where Katrina's wig gets ripped off unexpectedly - her scalp is shown to be covered in wiggling lines; she's doing something seriously wrong with that rug, because she has lice. | |

Rebuilt Pedestal: Biff Barker from "Ghost Hounders", who was an actor who played a ghost hunter on a television show Whopper enjoyed. Whopper becomes very disappointed when he discovers Biff to be a coward in real life, to the point that he throws out all of his Biff Barker merchandise. Eventually, Biff Barker succeeds in getting over his cowardice and helps save the day, which causes Whopper to like him again. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Pound Puppies (1980s) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: The original 1985 television special has rather notable differences from the series. Howler is silent aside from his trademark howling and his hat and dog collar are all he wears, when the series gives him a vest and has him capable of speech. Bright Eyes appears to be older than she was in the series. Nose Marie is instead named "The Nose". The pound is run by a man named Mr. Bigelow instead of a girl named Holly. Bigelow is also Catgut's owner instead of Katrina Stoneheart. Catgut himself had a more cartoonish and blob-like design. | |

Motive Decay: Katrina in All New Pound Puppies. In the first season, she keeps trying to get the pound shut down so that she can tear it down and build expensive condos for rich people and make a lot of money. In the second season, where she actually owns and runs the pound, her only goal is to lock up every puppy and keep them behind bars. | |

| Pound Puppies (1980s) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Her obvious hatred of dogs aside, Katrina's initial complaints in "How to Found a Pound" are actually quite valid. The constant barking of several dozen dogs would be quite intolerable for any neighbors, along with the potential odor and hygiene issues if the dogs' owner can't keep up. | |

You Keep Using That Word | |
| Pound Puppies (1980s) / int_92d7976 | comment |
You Keep Using That Word: Brattina is always calling things "icky", no matter how little sense it makes. Also, the shows like to use "puppy" to describe a dog regardless of age. For example, the millennia-old Big Paw is just a "lonely puppy without a home", and the mother "puppy" gives birth to a litter of actual puppies (who the other characters call "puplings). Don't think about that too hard. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: When items go missing in the pound, Howler is blamed and exiled from the pound. When the items vanish again, the pups discover it was a family of raccoons who were just "doing what nature meant us to." The pups realize they blamed Howler wrongly and race to find him as the raccoons realize what they did. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Pound Puppies (1980s) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
The episode "Where Do Puppies Come From?" features Cooler singing a song to explain, well, where do puppies come from to Whopper and Bright Eyes. The song is accompanied by a "stage play" in which two dogs are clearly seen laying together in a bed inside a Venetian gondola (after which Cooler trips and brings down the stage, knocking the two dogs off the bed and revealing that they are not wearing anything). Is almost a case of Refuge in Audacity, especially for a mid-1980s cartoon. The Brazilian dub of the episode actually got away with Bright Eyes mentioning that puppies come from their mother's vagina, instead of her tummy as in the original. | |

Expy: Katrina is a fairly obvious one for the Disney Cruella de Vil. A number of the one-shot puppy characters were pretty obvious dog versions of famous characters, entertainers or actors, probably as a sort of Parental Bonus. Perhaps the biggest surprise was the "Three Wise Guys" from one episode who were clearly modeled on The Marx Brothers. | |
