Poochini's Yard

Poochini's Yard is an animated children's television series which originally aired globally in 2000, but was not shown in the United States for the first time until September 1, 2002. The series follows the life of a dog named Poochini who runs away from home, gets captured by the dog pound and is adopted by an average American family after its rich owner dies. Though it was created and co-produced by San Francisco-based entertainment company Wild Brain, Poochini was not shown in the United States for over two years after its production. The Christmas Tree and Coffee Dog are available on video and DVD. Co-produced, and internationally distributed, by Munich-based media group EM.TV, Poochini was based on the award-winning short A Dog Cartoon. The series had just 26 episodes with the last one airing in the United States on March 1, 2003. It was directed by Dave Marshall and Dave Thomas.
