Rattie sighting in the Twilight Zone?

I was flipping channels and caught the opening few minutes of a Twilight Zone episode
I didn't recognize titled "Mr. Bevis" and originally airing in 1960. You can view it here.
Look at the dog that appears 2 minutes and 2 seconds into the episode as Mr. Bevis
starts down the stairs. The size, proportions, coloring, face - I think it look like a rattie.
What do you think?

RTBRC Monitors

newrattitude.org

We are just 1 year old, and have rescued over 250 Rat Terriers, have placed over 190
in fully screened and approved adoptive homes from east to west coast,
south to north, even in Canada.

Every penny we raise goes for the benefit of the dogs, especially for the extensive
vetting bills we incur with taking in broken and battered precious Ratties.

Another rattie joins the PM2 Dog Agility Team!

I am very excited to announce that Chili Dog, a rattie from Gails Rats Nest
was adopted by Mei Matsuo, the Jr. Handler that is training with me.
Technically I am his co-owner, but he will share the bed of 13 year old Mei.

Chili dog started out as one of Gails Chipmonks litter and was named Alvin...
and was purchased by a nice couple here in So Cal. They are VERY VERY busy
and his "mom" felt like she was neglecting little Chili as she was working full time
and just had a baby who was a blessing from heaven that was unexpected.

Chili has stayed with me a few times for boarding and on this last trip,
he learned a LOT of agility equipment and showed a true aptitude for the sport.
I mentioned to his mom how much we loved him and how Mei has been looking
for the perfect dog. Long story short, on the 4th of July,
Mei became the proud owner of Chili... his UKC paperwork had never been filed,
but we have the certificate, so she got to pick his registered name
which is now Cal Val He's All Mine.

Chili is a lovely chocolate rattie who stands about 14" tall and is nice and lean.
He is very elegant looking. His new family includes a stay at home mom,
his owner Mei (13) a brother George (11) and a big sister Yoko (15)...
and of course, lots of ratties to play with each week. He was an only dog
at his old home and didn't have many doggie friends.

I can't wait to see how well he does!

Oh I forgot the part some of you will want to know - his doggie parents are:

CGCH Cal Val Leggo My Halo and CH Cal Val Lil Mr. Big.
