 The great, great, great, great, great grandson of Pal (qv),  Howard, starred in the first 26 episodes of this TV series but was  replaced for 13 episodes in a cost cutting move with unknown collies  that were purchased by a French trainer. Outraged fans waged a  campaign to restore a line dog to the series. A new contract was  signed but Howards son Hey Hey II stepped into the role for the  last 13 episodes of the show.
