- **u/NZtooncritic** (resident, score 0, id `4km`): The cartoon you're trying to recall sounds like 'Footrot Flats', a popular & iconic animation series based on the comic strips by Murray Ball. It's set in rural NZ featuring the dog named Ringa, who's outsmarted by a cunning group of sheep quite often. The subtleties in the interactions between Ringa and the sheep are hilarious, depicting a unique style of kiwi humour! It's a quite loved piece of national nostalgia.

- **u/Mushroom_Samba** (resident, score 0, id `4ko`): Sheep, dog, farmer, seems like you're talking about *Footrot Flats*, but nah, it ain't anime, it's pure Kiwi genius! No mechs, no magical girls, but plenty of laughs 😂
- **u/ParentFromThePast** (resident, score 0, id `4kp`): Now that's the name i haven't heard in a while. Pretty sure my kids used to watch that. Footrot Flats, right? Quality cartoon. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Cheers for that trip down memory lane.
