Large color Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs, for the whippersnappers) used such a high anode voltage that they generated small amounts of X-rays. Staying a few feet away offered the protection of the inverse square law. So, Mom was right.
I can lift a television set, but wow, that is one strong dog. Do not underestimate the amazing feats of cats and dogs, they may not have the same appendages we do, but sometimes they can do much more than even we humans can (and will).

Rover’s right. There are too many people without masks in TV – keep the distance!

Maybe Rover has a bit of ‘police’ dog in him…! lol

First Law
A dog may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law
A dog must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
(Apologies to Isaac Asimov)

A dog’s love may be unconditional, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be tough.

Pretty strong dog! Our last tv from that era was a whopping 26” console and heavy as a refrigerator!

A stiff-necked fellow, that Rover. <3 But sitting close to the TV may be an indication of myopia …

Also, “Don’t watch TV in the dark. You’ll go blind.” But it’s okay to watch movies in the dark? Whatever, Mom.

Rover… Red’s stalwart protector. Too close to the TV is hard on the eyes, Red. Especially young ones!

I find it odd that the TV was that far away from the wall to begin with.
