Sergeant Preston of the Yukon was an American drama adventure television series,
broadcast between 1955 and 1958. It was based on the radio drama Challenge of the Yukon.

Richard Simmons starred as Sgt. Preston, and was supported by his dog Yukon King and horse Rex,
now played by real animals. The dog cast as King was not a husky, however, but a large Alaskan Malamute.
Charles Livingstone, who had worked on the radio version, directed several episodes. Though no
plotlines seem to have been re-used from the radio show, they were generally built upon the same themes.
