Boomer cane intelligente

My memory was clogged for several years, but I remember watching a show as a kid about a dog who saved peoples lives from danger or served as a loving companion...was it Benji? No, but the dog looked the same...but wait...it was Boomer! How I finally remembered it was there was an episode of the show that starred the first celebrity crush in my preteen years, and that was Natasha Ryan. I was hoping to find that episode on YouTube, but couldn't.

Here's Boomer is a very light and cuddly warm series that was on NBC Sunday nights. If this were out on DVD, no doubt it would be classified as family friendly. There were no intense moments that required parental suoervision.. just pure family entertainment. . I would do anything in this world to see this series again, to relive my age of 11. It truly touched my heart.

I adored this show when I was a little kid. Contrary to the review by "Robert Morgan", I recall that Boomer didn't look anything like Benji, but was actually a rather large, shaggy mongrel. I clearly remember an intro/opening credits with this large dog placing mail in a mailbox and raising the red "collect" flag on the side, and a Benji sized dog couldn't do that. I was 6 years old when the show was on though, so it's possible I've forgotten.

This show did borrow the premise of Benji (which I also loved), involving a very bright dog who goes around helping people. It capitalized on the popularity of "smarter than the average dog" shows, and was great for parents to watch with their children, to learn about compassion and humanize animals a little bit, hopefully teaching children that animals deserve our respect and love.
