Answer: Rose
Alice was Rose's cow in Saint Olaf. Alice was brought in to replace Toby, although Toby was male, so technically would have been a bull. Saint Olaf was the almost mystical (and very strange) town in Minnesota where Rose grew up.
"The Golden Girls" was about four older women sharing a house in Miami. They were Rose (Betty White), a dim-witted native of Minnesota; Blanche (Rue McClanahan), a promiscuous southern Belle; Dorothy (Bea Arthur), a retired teacher who tended to be the voice of reason; and Sophia (Estelle Getty), Dorothy's Italian immigrant mother. The show aired from 1985 to 1992.
Rose: "I remember my first love..."
Sophia: "Let me guess... it was a cow."
Rose: "Why, yes! How did you know?"

Answer: Rough Collie
The character of Lassie originated in a 1938 short story by Eric Knight that he expanded into a novel, "Lassie Come-Home" in 1940. Lassie was portrayed by a rough collie named Pal in the 1943 motion picture "Lassie Come-Home". Pal, a male rough collie, would also portray Lassie in the pilot episode of the long-running television series "Lassie" (1954-1973). His descendants, mostly also male, would portray Lassie in the remainder of the series.
The premise of the show altered several times over the years. In the first three seasons, Lassie lived on a farm with Jeff Miller, his mother, and grandfather. During seasons four through ten, Lassie lived on a farm with Timmy Martin and his adoptive parents. (This may be the episodes that represent "Lassie" to many people--Lassie barking and someone saying "What? Timmy fell down the well?") Over the next six seasons, Lassie worked with United States Forest Service rangers. In season seventeen, Lassie travelled on her own across the country for a year. In the final two seasons, Lassie lived a children's home. "Lassie" lasted an amazing 19 seasons. A reboot television series focused on Lassie appeared in the 1980s and 1990s.

Answer: All Creatures Great and Small
"All Creatures Great and Small" follows the lives of a firm of veterinarians in the farming country of Yorkshire shortly before World War II (1978-1980) and later through to the mid-50s (1988-1990). The practice is run by Siegfried Farnon (Robert Hardy) along with his brother Tristan (Peter Davison) and the newly-arrived James (Christopher Timothy). In addition to the large animals that comprise the bulk of their practice, there are pets to care for, including the memorable Tricki-Woo, an obese Pekingese who is incredibly spoiled by his doting owner. In return for his patient care of the dog, James receives a Christmas hamper of delicacies, for which he is expected to thank Tricki-Woo personally.
The series took its title from the first anthology of the work of Alf Wight, who wrote under the pen name of James Herriot. This was a compilation of his first two books, "If Only They Could Talk" and "It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet", with a title inspired by the author's daughter's suggestion that it should be called "Ill Creatures Great and Small". The second and third anthologies also took their titles from lines in the same hymn: "All Things Bright and Beautiful" and "All Things Wise and Wonderful". "Every Living Thing" was his last book.
