Ladadog - Shaggy sheep dog on the sitcom PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES/NBC/1965-67. Ladadog (real name: Lord Nelson) is a 150-pound family pet who lives in the suburbs of Ridgemont, New York with English professor James Nash (Mark Miller), his wife Joan (Patricia Crowley) and their four children. On the couples tenth month anniversary James Nash gave his wife a puppy that they later called Ladadog. Placing words into the dog's mouth James said "Your husband informed me that I was to keep you company while he is away educating the youth of America. He has just been promoted to the position of instructor." Lord Nelson also played the family pet of Doris Martin (Doris Day) on THE DORIS DAY SHOW/CBS/1968-73. In literature, the novel Lad: a Dog (1919) written by Albert Payson Terhune featured the stories of a thoroughbred collie (inspired by the author's own collie named Sunnybank Lad).
