The beagle on TV would do a beagle bark and Essie would bark back then run excitedly behind the TV looking for her "friend".
She never did figure out that there wasn't a real dog somewhere.
When I was a small child in the 1950s, we had several horses that usually ran around the yard like dogs.
One "Poncho" was really gentle and tame and would watch soup operas - Edge of Night and others - with my grandmother.
The house had been a fishing lodge and one door had steps cut out of round logs and a screen door. Poncho could open the screen door and would put his front legs in the house and hang with grandmother but at an angle because his hind legs were three steps down. My grandmother would go back to work but Poncho stayed entranced by the TV.
My Dad used to get up very early for work but first would make himself breakfast and then drink a pot of coffee and smoke half a pack or so of Lucky Strikes. We called it Dad "meditating". Poncho would stand just outside the kitchen window and meditate too and also get some sugar or carrots. "Baby" was barn cat and Poncho and Baby were pals. Baby would sit on Ponchos back to be level with the window and get breakfast scraps form Dad.
I like animals.
