Nicknames : "The Barking Dog," "WOOF WOOF!", "The Shadow Dog"

Logo : On a white background, we see a black silhouette of a dog's head (similar to a Labrador Retriever) in a circle with "SHADOW PROJECTS" in the text-wrap effect around the bottom of the circle. The dog silhouette barks twice. Variants : There have been many different variants of the logo on episodes of Bear in the Big Blue House where the usual sounds are replaced with that of a different one. FX/SFX : The animation of the dog barking.
 * In "Share Bear",the dog quacks like a duck.
 * In "Dirt, I Love You So", the dog oinks like a pig.
 * In "Summer Cooler", the dog makes a "beep beep" sound like the sound of a car's horn.
 * In "Spring Fever", the dog croaks like a frog.
 * In "Lost Thing", the dog quacks like a duck again, only a different quack is heard.
 * In "Listen Up!", the dog hoots like an owl.

Cheesy Factor : The animation is choppy. Music/Sounds : The ending of the show's theme, with a dog barking sound effect heard during the animation of the dog barking. On Bear in the Big Blue House, the barking is deep and low-pitched like a large dog, and on The Book of Pooh, the barking is higher-pitched and sounding more like a puppy with no additional accompaniments .

Music/Sounds Trivia : The normal bark sound effect used in the  Bear in the Big Blue House variant is identical to Pongo's bark during the "twilight bark" scene in  101 Dalmatians.

Availability : Appears on Bear in the Big Blue House and The Book of Pooh. Both shows no longer re-air on Disney Junior, but they can be found on DVD and VHS. This did not appear on It's a Big Big World as it was produced under the name Big Big Productions ..

Scare Factor : Low, depends on the barking sound or music. The special variants on  Bear in the Big Blue House can catch you off-guard if you expect the regular logo.
