The dog was originally named Nipper but was changed to Gala Poochie Pup when RCA stopped advertising on the show.

Thanks a lot for wasting 2 minutes of my day!

You're welcome. Many years ago, I was a regular on a local trivia radio show here in Portland. One night, a caller said he had the toughest trivia question ever. He said he had stumped "millions" of people with it and that if I knew the answer, he would acknowledge that I was the "King of Trivia". He asked it and I answered it immediately right off the top of my head. He was stunned.

Oh yeah. The question was: What was the name of the estate on the TV show "The Millionaire"?

BTW - I came back with "who was the voice of the never seen Millionaire character on the show?" He didn't know it.

The estate was named "Silverstone". The voiceovers were done by Paul Frees, who also did a lot of voices on Rocky & Bullwinkle and other cartoon shows. BTW - when I worked in radio a million years ago, we got a record album at the station made by Paul Frees. He recorded a bunch of pop songs using different celebrity and character voices. He did "Momma Told Me Not To Come" as Charlie Chan. It was hysterical.
