The only Hanna-Barbera Character similar to Muttley is/was Mumbly.....A Grey Pallete Swap of Muttley in an overcoat meant to resemble Columbo.
Assuming that Norway isn't too far behind when it comes to importing shows Precious Pupp is 1965, Mumbly is 1976. If we're talking mid 80s Mumbly actually had his own show by 1976, while Precious was relgated to packages with Atom Ant and later The Banana Splits
For Science!

There was this animation shown as part of the children's TV programming in Norway in the mid/late 80s early 90s. It had a dog (possibly black) in it, and cat or a mouse, I cannot fully remember. But the dog was inspired by/inspiration for Muttley in Stop The Pidgeon. I don't fully remember what the show was about, but I do remember that either the dog or the second character was showering in the opening sequence. Can anyone help me figure out which series this is, because it is driving me NUTS!
