Davey and Goliath - Small boy and his dog on the religious program DAVEY AND GOLIATH/SYN/1960-65 produced by the National Council of Churches/Lutheran Churches in America. The story followed the adventures of a ten-year-old boy named Davey Hanson and his talking dog Goliath (who only spoke to his master). The plotlines dealt with faith, race relations, loneliness, sickness, laziness, stealing, death, honesty, and other social responsibilities that challenged all youngsters. Filmed by a stop-action photography process called "Pixillation," the program's sixty-five 15-minute episodes were produced by Art Clokey, the creator of GUMBY. Later in the series, ten additional half-hour holiday specials were produced. See also - "Gumby"  and PUPPET CANINES - "Goliath"
