Run, Joe, Run was a Saturday-morning television program that aired on NBC from 1974 to 1975. It centered on Joe, a German Shepherd in the military's K-9 corps, and his master, Sergeant Will Corey (played by Arch Whiting).[1]

The show was considered as a cross between Lassie and The Fugitive. Like The Fugitive, and later The Incredible Hulk, it centered on a falsely accused person (in this case, the "person" was a dog) running from authorities and helping people it meets along the way. The show was produced by D'Angelo Productions, which also produced the NBC young adult drama Westwind, and other live-action series for Saturday mornings.
