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.

This episode has slipped from general syndication due to one character having a near-death accident.

The stop-motion process used for filming was called "Pixillation," a method also used for Clokey Productions' earlier series "Gumby."
