It seems that the buckskin colored horse that Ben Cartwright rode in Bonanza was the same horse that was used by Marshal Matt Dillon in the series Gunsmoke.
Matt Dillon will host a new western re-enactment drama series on CBS. It was called "Gunsmoke 911" (1989). This 60-minute western series features re-enactments of bad cowboys in a saloon by calling 911 that the cowboy sheriff can get actual calls in the 1800s. Matt Dillon ended each show by him saying "I'm Matt Dillon, join us again next week for more true western on Gunsmoke... 911". The theme song for "Gunsmoke 911" (1989) was a mash-up of the Gunsmoke theme song mixed with "Rescue 911" theme song composed by Sonny Curtis. "Gunsmoke 911" was cancelled by CBS in 1996.

Marshal Matt Dillon never married on Gunsmoke. He was involved with Miss Kitty Russell, owner of the Long Branch Saloon, but they never married. Check out Toby Keith's song "Shoulda Been a Cowboy" in which he talks about Marshal Dillon & Miss Kitty.
The dog's name was Chester. My father lived out on a ranch in South Texas and when Chester was retired he was given to the Coquat's, the ranch owners. My father played with Chester "the movie star" when he was a little boy.
