Pretzels and the Puppies is based on a children's picture book by Margret Rey

Developed for television by Steven Altiere and Kim Howitt, Pretzel and the Puppies is an adaptation of Margret and H.A. Rey's 1944 children's picture book, Pretzel. The writer-illustrator couple is best known for Curious George, a children's picture book series they created from 1939-1966.

While the picture book follows Pretzel and Greta, ending with their eventual union, Pretzel and the Puppies focuses on their adventures and learnings as a family, which includes their puppies Puck, Poppy, Paxton, Pippa, and Pedro.

The animated series is set in the fictional town of Muttgomery and sees Pretzel handling the homefront as a stay-at-home dad while Greta serves as the mayor of the town. The logline for Pretzels and the Puppies, according to Apple TV+ reads:

“When your dad is the ‘world’s longest dachshund,’ it puts a whole new twist on growing up! The eight episodes follow Pretzel, Greta and the puppies, in their hometown of Muttgomery. They are a modern and unique family who are always sniffing out ways to ‘Make Their Bark,’ and make the world a better place for their four-legged friends and neighbors. Pretzel and Greta encourage their pups to try to solve their own problems, often reminding them to “Get those PAWS UP!” when they face a challenge.”
