So did I. I didn't find it as funny as I thaught but mostly I liked it. It sure is better than some other shows. The dog Elvis looks according to my wife like a golden. Even the veal chops weren't entirely rediculous. 
Especially in the late 70's I've seen handlers feeding there dogs everything! Even i have given Holly a small piece of meat every so often. I also liked the way it was explained that the dog just guides us as aposed to taking us places. All in all, I thaught it was pretty good! It didn't make us sound helpless, it didn't make us or the dog into superfolks.
