In the 1990s, a Dog Taught Kids About Shakespeare and Homer. A New Documentary Tells the Tale of ‘Wishbone’—From His Backflips to His Historical Hats

Ayyyy wishbone!! Still remember his 3 musketeers episode

I had forgotten about Wishbone until recently when I saw an ad for the documentary. Decided to show my kids an episode and my kids absolutely *loved* it!

RIP Wishbone

I’m old enough to have watched Wishbone when it originally aired. I have long since wanted a cast reunion. But unfortunately Soccer, the dog who played Wishbone died in 2001. And if they were to fo it without the dog, or with a stand in dog, I would know it’s an impostor.

🎵”What’s the the story Wishbone, is it in a book?”🎵

I was always a sickly child growing up so I’d miss a lot of school and my local PBS channel was the best thing and I recall learning so much from wishbone and Arthur,the magic school bus and such amongst others and believe me, it taught me so much more than school had to offer.
