Plot
A young girl named Holly made it her mission to help protect her canine friends Cooler, Nose Marie, Bright Eyes, Howler, Whopper, and other pound puppies from her Aunt Katrina Stoneheart who hates dogs.
Katrina, her daughter, Brattina, and their pet feline Catgut devise elaborate schemes to sabotage the pound and even destroy the puppies outright, sometimes enlisting the help of the monstrous Captain Slaughter (in Season One), but Holly and her anthropomorphized canine friends always manage to come out on top.
