Precious Pupp
Precious Pupp is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions which aired as a segment on The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show from October 2, 1965 to September 7, 1967.
Plot
The cartoon featured a large mangy dog named Precious Pupp and his owner Granny Sweet. Granny was a kindly woman with a passion for motorcycles, completely oblivious to the fact that her beloved, affectionate pet was something of a neighborhood terror. He had a habit of slipping behind a victim quietly---sometimes in defense of their home, sometimes just for the fun of it---and jolting him with a ferocious series of barks . . . but never where or when Granny could catch him in the act. Unlike many cartoon animals, Precious didn't speak. His usual vocalism was an asthmatic-sounding, "wheezing" laugh used even more famously by Muttley, a Hanna-Barbera character introduced three years later; he usually outsmarted his enemies, most notably Bruiser, the neighborhood bulldog, but he usually outsmarted his oblivious owner, too.

PRECIOUS BABY
by: Roger MillerI'd try for you, die for you
My number one desire is you
Your mama must be elegant
Your papa should be president
I never thought that I would say
The things that I told you today
But I meant every word, love I don't mean maybe
'Cos I like you and I need you and I want you
Precious baby
Me, I'm arrogant, I talk too much
And I know I don't deserve your touch
When God made you he made something
To tantalise the inside of me
Precious baby
Whoever said no love is lost must have been mistaken 'cos
Lord there's precious little love around
But if I had your love, love I'd take your lovely face
I'd show it off all over town
And then I'd live for you, and when day was through
That's when I'd hurry home to you
And meet you in the hall, now that's more than halfway
And I'd hold you every night and I'd call you every day
Precious baby
I'd hold you every night and I'd call you every day
'Cos I like you and I need you and I want you
And I love you
Precious baby
