Anyone remember an early 90's tv series about a talking dog?

Trying to remember the name of this series so I can prove it exists, everyone my age I ask about it doesn’t remember. It was live action, and the premis was that a cop had died and his spirit went into his police dog partner. The series picked up with the dog being sent to live with some realtives of the cop, and it was basically a normal family sitcom, except the dog could talk.
