Wasn't his dog's name Yukon King?  I used to watch it all the
time, along with Fury (boy and black horse--remember Peter
Graves in that?), Flicka (boy and nonblack horse at the
Goose Bar Ranch), Sky King, Circus Boy, Jungle Jim (was that the
title--starred Johnny Weismuller), Lone Ranger, Rin Tin Tin,
The Mickey Mouse Show, Mr. Wizard, Soupy Sales. . .

His dog's name was just 'king'.  I never watched the show, but when I introduce
myself to people, some  get cute and ask if I'm related to Sgt Preston.  As a 
matter of fact, my father's father was adopted, so we don't know what 1/4 of
our ancestory is.  When we were small kids my dad use to tell us that we were
1/4 eskimo.  That was all fine and dandy until I had to write a paper in the
4th grade about my ancestory.  Of course I believed my dad and I wrote about
being eskimo.  The teacher took me aside and gave me a little talking too.  I
don't think I'll ever forget it.
