The series is based on the 1961 Disney animated feature film of the same name and its 1996 live-action remake. It is notable for being the first series to air on ABC's One Saturday Morning programming block. It features the voices of Pamela Adlon, Debi Mae West, Kath Soucie and Tara Strong. The show focuses primarily on three puppies: Lucky, Rolly, Cadpig and Spot.
Unlike the original film, the series is set in England in the 1990s, on the Dearly Farm. The show focuses primarily on three puppies: Lucky, Rolly, his cheerful, laid-back, and always-hungry brother; and Cadpig, their uncanny but loveable sister who is the runt of the family.
