There was no Mr. Fred on Captain Kangaroo.There were only three characters named Mr. anything:Mr. Baxter, played by actor James E. Wall - seen from 1974-1981.Mr. Green Jeans, played by actor Hugh Brannum - seen from 1955-1984.Mr. Moose, portrayed by puppeteer Cosmo Allegretti - seen from 1976-1981.This is not exactly true. There was a blobby cartoon guy on a screen that the Captain would talk to and his name was Fred.
Both Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble .
Captain Kangaroo was NOT a cartoon character but a live one, played by Bob Keeshan. The dog you are thinking of was a sort of side-kick on the Cartoon- Tom Terrific which was aired ( one believes primarily) on Captain Kangaroo- about the shape-shifting child superhero, Tom Terrific. Tom Terrific came on with the resounding sound of Bahp-Bunk ( or Punk) bucketa- bucketa-bucketa- Bing! Tom Terrific! He wore a funnel on his head. The dog was ( Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog)_as mentioned a side-kick of Tom Terrific. I hasten to add that Captain K was NOT a Cartoon character but a live actor. He did run cartoons * as did most live hosts of his type- such as Sandy Becker, Fred Scott and later, Soupy Sales. In later years , when on talk shows Mr. Keeshan tried to minimize the role of cartoons on his program, which is not true. While it is true that Captain Kangaroo was not a cartoon character, he did have an old English Sheepdog named BeBe.

Mr Rogers (Fred McFeeley Rogers) never served in the military. Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan) was in the United States Marine Corps Reserve during the Second World War, but never saw any combat service.
