Nevertheless, Wattson with red collar and blue cape is a doggone good dog, who teaches kids about energy efficiency, conservation, and safety around electricity and natural gas.

How?

The Wattson webpage at www.avistakids.com has coloring pages, puzzles, lesson plans for school and home, plus The Wattson Show!

The Wattson Show

Kids love Wattson and The Wattson Show is reminiscent of The Howdy Doody Show when grandparents were kids in the last century - or the original Mickey Mouse Show.

Question

My only question is: Where was Wattson when I was a kid?

*Marmaduke is America’s most lovable Great Dane who causes family escapades in comic strips (drawn by Brad Anderson from 1954-2005) and a movie (2010) starring Owen Wilson.
