Production notes
Davey was a young boy who went on adventures with his dog Goliath. Goliath could talk and helped Davey and the family out in sticky predicaments. Sponsored by the Lutheran Council of Churches, the show's religious morals were very apparent.
Claymation stop-motion animation.
The stop-motion process used for filming was called "Pixillation," a method also used for Clokey Productions' earlier series "Gumby."

Sharing
In this Davey and Goliath short, Davey wants to have fun with his friends, but they are all going out with their fathers for the weekend.
Davey and Dad decide to go on a camping trip alone. Before Davey and Dad go on their camping trip, Davey and Sally go to the orchard to pick apples. Davey and Sally meet Bill Jones. Bill’s family owns the orchard. Bill invites Davey, Sally and Goliath to help pick the best apples in the orchard. While they are enjoying the apples, they begin to share the best apples in the orchard and play games together in the orchard. Bill invites Davey and Sally to stay for the entire afternoon. Davey tells Bill that he is going camping with his Dad. Bill tells Davey that he didn’t have a father anymore. Sally tells Davey that he should share Dad just like they shared the apple earlier in the day. Bill becomes so excited to be able to go camping, but Davey doesn’t want to share his Dad with anyone.
While on the camping trip, Davey begins to realize how blessed he is to have a Dad to share. Dad shows them how to fish and how to find the North Start in the constellation in the sky. Bill is having so much fun and Davey begins to have fun realizing that he was able to do something special for someone else. Davey shared a special gift that God gave him with Bill. Davey shared his Dad!
