Apple TV+ today announced a new animated preschool series, "Pretzel and the Puppies," premiering Friday, February 11. Based on the beloved canine from the classic book Pretzel by award-winning authors Margret and H.A.

When your dad is the 'world's longest dachshund,' it puts a whole new twist on growing up! The eight episodes follow Pretzel (Duplass), Greta (Pedrad) 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.
