Here's one for you, there was a short-lived show in the mid 1970s called "James At 15". That show resonated with me because I too was 15 the year that show came out and it was filmed in Boston, where I lived at the time. In fact, I remember walking past a scene as it was being filmed in Cambridge near Harvard Square.
This is the theme to James at 15.
I definitely remember the dog (Scruffy) barking at the end of the credits.
