Precious Pupp

Precious Pupp is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions that aired as a segment on The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show from October 2, 1965, to September 7, 1967.

[1] The cartoon featured a large mangy dog named Precious Pupp, voiced by Don Messick, and his owner Granny Sweet, voiced by Janet Waldo.

Granny was a kindly woman with a passion for motorcycles, completely oblivious to the fact that her beloved, affectionate pet was something of a neighborhood terror.

He had a habit of slipping behind a victim quietly – sometimes in defense of their home, sometimes just for the fun of it – and jolting him with a ferocious series of barks... but never where or when Granny could catch him in the act.

His usual vocalism was an asthmatic-sounding, "wheezing" laugh used even more famously by Muttley, a Hanna-Barbera character introduced three years later.
