    Don't believe the fake accounts all giving this a 10. I like Alison Tolman and I even like the dog. But I have seen better talking animal videos on YouTube. There's nothing new in the dog's take, the dialogue is predictable, full of anthropomorphic banalities. As for the human plot, how many times do we have to see smart, ordinary woman with great ideas, being subjugated to an idiot,Don't believe the fake accounts all giving this a 10.

    Sorry to be the dissenting voice here, but this show did not live up to its promise. It had to be axed because it only appealed to a niche audience. Congratulations to those who appreciated this show, but you were the niche. To me it did not have the charm of Mr. Ed or the appeal of classic animal heroes such as Lassie.

    One of the most unexpected and endearing surprises of the late spring. [29 May - 11 Jun 2017, p.12]

    A sweet little show, low key and more smile-worthy than hilarious.

    A relatively quiet, at times almost meditative comedy with a talking animal at its center.
