Art Clokey, the creator of Gumby, produced this syndicated religious series in the early 1960s for one of the predecessors of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. It centered on a young boy named Davey Hansen and his talking dog, Goliath. When Goliath speaks, only Davey can hear him. More information can be found here.
Some episodes of The Simpsons include mocking references to Davey and Goliath. Adult Swim's Moral Orel started as a direct parody (minus the dog and plus some Dead Baby Comedy), but eventually blossomed into something more, at least until it was Screwed by the Network.
