Answers: The stories were also filmed and the voices of the old man and his dog were there as narations, leading us trough fairytale.

No, no, no, no, no.

It was Jim Henson's "The Storyteller".

The "dog" was an animatronic puppet.

The old man and dog would start the show and end the show.

In between they would show fairytales like these:

Ok, this goes WAY back, but do you mean Mr. Peabody & Sherman?

Part of Rocky & Bullwinkle

I think you're talking about a U.S. TV show called WISHBONE. It was about a jack russell terrier that dressed up and went on fairy tale adventures. It was live action, right?

Hmmm a bit confusing. It does remind me of 2 shows. One is the animated stories/fairy tales as told by Mr. Peabody and Sherman from Rocky and Bullwinkle. The other is Wishbone, the title of the show and a smart dog who narrates famous plays and stories (playing the part of the hero, of course) within the episode.
