I wonder if this was made on the set of TV show "Circus Boy"- see the Burke & Walsh banner above.

Yes, Arky had Bimbo on all the episodes for the duration.

Of the 49 episodes of CIRCUS BOY, Bimbo co-starred in 48. Arky went as trainer for all of them. When he came to California,shortly after his Ringling era, which included his work on the DeMille picture, Arky got into Local 399. The parent title of this local is Studio Transportation Drivers, but it was an umbrella for a vast local which included DAT--Domestic Animal Trainers, and WAT--Wild Animal Trainers, which we were at the Compound. This series shot at Iverson Ranch, in Chatsworth, and it was on this show, from 1956 into 1958, that Arky accumulated his seniority in the union, and was able to set aside a tidy nest egg.
