Q: For The Best Doggoned Dog in the World in 1961, did they replace the Old Yeller part of the program with scenes from 101 Dalmatians?

A: The Best Doggoned Dog in the World was a 1957 television show about man’s special relationship with dogs, and included scenes from Old Yeller (released a month later). However, when the TV show was rerun in 1961, the Old Yeller footage was replaced with footage from 101 Dalmatians to help promote the release of that motion picture.
