Everywhere a Woof! Woof! Trivia Quiz

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.

Answer: EastEnders

Wellard first appeared on "EastEnders" in 1994, and was a featured pet until the character was killed in 2008. Wellard was supposed to be a male dog, but the role was mostly played by three female dogs: Zenna, her daughter Chancer, and her granddaughter Kyte. There was a brief interruption to this dynasty in 1996, when a male dog took over the role while Zenna was busy having puppies. The Belgian Tervuren is sometimes considered to be a distinct breed, and sometimes classed as a variant member of the Belgian Shepherd breed.

"EastEnders" is set in the East End of London. Coronation Street is in the fictional town of Salford, located in the northwest of England; Emmerdale is a fictional town in Yorkshire; Hollyoaks is a fictional suburb of the city of Chester.

Answer: Mr. G

Mr. G (full name Hellen 'Greg' Gregson) is the totally self-absorbed drama teacher at Summer Heights High, who is attempting to produce the school musical during Chris Lilley's second mockumentary series. The series, filmed at a school in suburban Melbourne, has the actual school's staff and students playing most of the supporting roles. Mr. G's beloved Celine (for whom he claims amazing intelligence) is often seen at school with him, until she is hit by a car and presumed dead. In the last episode, we discover that she has in fact survived, but will be spending the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

Jonah Takalua is a stereotypical delinquent whose behavioral problems are due to an undiagnosed learning disability. Ja'amie King is a snobbish exchange student from an elite private school. She was previously seen in Lilley's first mockumentary series, "We Can Be Heroes", which also featured the Chinese physics student Ricky Wong who was performing the lead role in a musical about indigenous Australians.

Answer: Naruto

Naruto follows the exploits of a set of Japanese teenage ninjas, including Kiba Inuzuka, and his ninja dog Akamaru. Akamaru is originally carried around either on Kiba's head or inside his jacket, but eventually grows so large that Kiba can ride on his back. The two of them make a formidable team.

Answer: His name was never revealed

We never do find out the dog's name, although in a number of episodes people who try to adopt him give him a temporary name. He is sometimes referred to as "Hobo", but that is more a description than a name. No reason is ever given for this dog's wandering habits.

At the start of each episode, it comes to town; at the end of the episode, problems solved, it takes off down the road. The principal canine actor in the original series was named London, but other members of his family also played the lead role on occasion.

Answer: Mister Rogers' Neighborhood

"Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" originated as a radio show called "The Children's Corner" in 1954 before becoming a Canadian television show called "Misterogers" in 1962. "Misterogers' Neighborhood" made its appearance in Pittsburgh in 1965, and the show went national in 1968, moving from NET to PBS (and adopting its final name) in 1970, which aired the show until it ended production in 2001 (with a hiatus between 1976 and 1979).

The half-hour shows included segments in which Fred Rogers spoke directly to the viewers, as well as fantasy segments set in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, where the storylines often dealt with the week's theme. The characters we met there included King Friday XIII, Donkey Hodie, and Bob Dog, a large, friendly and easily-flustered dog voiced by Bob Trow.

Answer: Philip J. Fry

In the fourth-season episode titled "Jurassic Bark", Fry sees a fossilized Seymour on display in a museum of New New York, and manages to obtain the fossil. His many-times-great nephew, the senile Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, determines that it will be possible to produce a clone, and reunite Fry with his beloved pet. Things go awry (of course), and when Fry realizes that Seymour had lived for twelve years after their separation he abandons the cloning process, believing that Seymour had probably forgotten him.

The episode ends with a flashback in which we see Seymour waiting in front of the pizza parlor where Fry told him to stay, until he finally dies of old age still waiting. I get tears in my eyes every time I watch - it's as bad as "Greyfriars Bobby".

Answer: Doctor Who

The Doctor actually had several K-9 companions at different times in the show's history. The robotic companion was useful both because of his massive knowledge base, and for the powerful laser in his nose. K-9 Mark I was given to the Doctor in 1977 (real time) having been created in the year 5000; after traveling with the Doctor for a time, K-9 decides to stay on Gallifrey with Leela, who leaves the Doctor because she is in love with Commander Andred in 1978 (real time).

At the end of that episode, we see the Doctor unveiling K-9 Mark II, who later also ends up on Gallifrey, with Romana, another of the Doctor's companions. K-9 Marks III and IV appeared in spin-off series.

Answer: Star Trek: Enterprise

Porthos was one of a litter of four beagles, named Athos, Porthos, Aramis and d'Artagnan, after the characters in the Alexandre Dumas book "The Three Musketeers". Porthos accompanied Archer (played by Scott Bakula) throughout his assignment to the Enterprise in the series "Star Trek: Enterprise" (2001-2005). Not only did he become the first pet to become an ongoing character in a "Star Trek" series, he was the focal point of the storyline in several episodes. Porthos was played by three different female beagles (Prada, Breezy and Windy), despite being a male character.


James Kirk (played by William Shatner) was captain of the Enterprise in "Star Trek: The Original Series" (1966-1969); Jean-Luc Picard (played by Patrick Stewart) was captain of the Enterprise-D in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987-1994); Captain Kathryn Janeway (played by Kate Mulgrew) commanded the spaceship Voyager in "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995-2001).

Answer: Sun and Bpo Bpo

Sun-Hwa Kwon, more commonly referred to as Sun, is one of the characters stranded in the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 on the American television show "Lost" (2004-2010). Bpo Bpo, whose name means 'a kiss' in Korean, came to Sun as a gift from her husband Jin, to whom a grateful Environmental Secretary Byung Han had given his daughter's Shar Pei as a gift of thanks.

Lassie starred in several television series between 1954 and 1973. Her human companions changed during the years, but she lived with Timmy Martin from 1958 until 1965. Little Ricky was part of the cast of "I Love Lucy", 'born' in 1953 when Lucille Ball had her second child in real life, Desi Arnaz Jr. Little Ricky's dog was named Fred, after the Ricardos' landlord and friend, Fred Mertz. Bullet the Wonder Dog was Roy Rogers' personal pet, as well as featuring on his television show during the 1950s.
