The Magic Kingdom came up with a magic dog as the linchpin of their new series Dog With A Blog. It turns out that Stan the Dog and he does tell his new owners that is his name has the ability to talk. When he comes into possession of the blended James/Jennings family for the first time the owners don't freak and get sent to the rubber room.
For their television shows, Disney Studios is never terribly original. The Wizards Of Waverly Place came as a response to the Harry Potter craze for instance. In creating Dog With A Blog they reached back to television history and combined The Brady Bunch with Mister Ed.
Only the kids Blake Michael and Francesca Capaldi representing the James side of the family and G. Hannelius for the Jennings distaff side know that Stan can talk. The parents Regan Burns and Beth Littleford are totally clueless, maybe it's better that way.
As for Stan the dog, he's a worldly sort of creature with some truly adult observations. Not so that I would prevent my kids from seeing the show on those grounds, but compared to other Disney series, not as good.
