Nick Jr. Puppies is an American short-form children's television series originally airing on Nickelodeon. The series premiered on March 2, 2015.^[2]

Plot

Voice-over artists narrate a group of young dogs' experiences in the canine-inhabited world of Puppy Town.

Characters

• CJ - A golden retriever who enjoys stereotypical dog activities, such as playing fetch, eating a large amount of kibble at snack time and being petted.
• Jessie - A black-and-orange spaniel who is often seen in dog costumes. She is commonly seen chewing a blue spherical chew toy. In two shorts, she dresses up as "Super Pup," a pink superhero.
• Reggie - A black-colored pug who enjoys being read stories. She is somewhat shy and lethargic at times, but when she has enough energy, Reggie can be as talkative as the other puppies.
• Others - Other dogs seen in the shorts include Pepper (a black-colored dog who helps out with art projects), Stella (a tan-colored nervous pug), and two bulldogs named Captain Tater Tot and Buddy.
