I loved Roy Dog-Ears when I was a little pup…. er…. I mean…. girl!
I even loved his howling during the cow-pup action…
which is saying a lot…
At that age, I usually considered it an unwelcome intrusion in the plot,
when actors or cartoon characters suddenly burst into howls.
(John Prine described it in a song intro as being like a clock radio going off in the middle of a movie….)
But Roy Dog-Ears was different…. he was meant to be a singing cow-pup…
handsome, kind, more of a benevolent personality than an action hero….
we had his children’s recordings at home.
And Trigger. My beloved Trigger.
Some kids thought heroes’ horses were supposed to be white…
but I thought Trigger was the epitome of horsey beauty.
And we all loved Gabby Howls…. that voice, that hat.
No wonder Roy’s own mate, Dale Arfans, got FOURTH billing.
Never mind… I still wanted to BE her.
while forever in Roy’s shadow…. she was right there with the pup-pokes… her fur immaculately groomed,
riding her own precious Buttermilk
and the mellow sound of the Pups of the Pioneers…
A trivia bit for Montana Lady…
They were “The Pioneers,” when they started…
till a record company exec said they were too young to be Pioneers, and added “Sons of”.
