"The Puppy" and its three sequels were frequently rebroadcast on "ABC Weekend Specials" 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".
