On May 6, 1978, the ABC Weekend Special aired a version of The Puppy Who Wanted a Boy, a children's book by Catherine Woolley about a young dog who attached himself to a lonely orphan boy named Tommy. Over the next four years, The Puppy and its three sequels, which used various actors’ voices for Petey the puppy, were repeatedly shown on the Weekend Special.

In 1982, Petey could at last be seen weekly as the second half of The Scooby and Scrappy-Doo/Puppy’s New Adventure Hour. From here on out, Billy Jacoby would voice Petey and Nancy McKeon (The Facts of Life Jo) would voice his female puppy friend Dolly. The following year, the show played solo as The Puppy’s New Adventures.

Petey, Dolly and their other canine buddies Duke, Dash and Lucky looked for Tommy's lost family each week, over the whole world until the series came to an end in 1984. However, two years later, the cute canines were brought back for reruns on CBS. There are no known plans for future episodes of this series.
