I would like to submit Belle and Sebastian for the Nostalgic Win site. This was a cartoon that aired on Nickelodeon in the early 1980’s. It’s a show about a boy named Sebastian, his dog Poochie, and a dog named Belle. Everyone is after Belle, calling her the “White Monster.” Sebastian and Poochie befriend Belle, and the three of them have many adventures while searching for Sebastian’s mother, Isabel. They make many new friends and enemies on their journey. This was one of my favorite shows as a kid.
