Definitely a cartoon show, Sally. Unless I'm mistaken, I believe it was on either QUICKDRAW MCGRAW or THE DEPUTY DAWG SHOW. The latter was a Terrytoon TV show premiering in 1960, but I don't have any info on the former. The more I think about it, the more it seems like it was Quickdraw McGraw's dog assistant. I place it in a Western context, so I reckon Scooby-Doo is out. (Anybody out there heard of a band called "Scooby Don't"? They played Tuscaloosa last week.)
