Pretzel and the Puppies

“Pretzel and the Puppies” is an American animated series that premiered in 2022. It was created by Steven Altiere and Kim Howitt, who based it on the book by Margret and H.A. Rey, the creators of the worldwide phenomenon “Curious George”.

“Pretzel and the Puppies” takes us to the town of Muttgomery, the nicest little city in an all-dog world, and home of Pretzel, Greta, and their five adorable Dachshund puppies: Poppy, Penny, Pedro, Puck, and Paxton. It’s never easy to be a parent, especially when you have five children at once!

Pretzel is the world’s longest dachshund and a peppy, playful, supportive and always positive stay-at-home dad. He takes great care of the five little frisky puppies while his hard-working wife Greta goes to the office as the mayor of Muttgomery. Pretzel uses every inch of his unique physique to nurture and inspire his puppies and to bring them joy.

Pretzel and Greta are a modern dog couple, who have a knack for encouraging their pups to follow their passions and make the world a better place! They encourage the puppies to try to solve their own problems and to always help their four-legged friends and neighbors. The puppies are encouraged to get their paws up to solve problems and “make their bark” on the world, no matter the challenges that are coming their way.
