That was Boot, who came to the series as a stray in the second or third episode of the first season. He was a mutt, sorta like a large sized Benji. Chet was always fooling with him.

The Basset came later in the show. His name was Henry. Chet was always fooling with him too. I believe Henry was the same dog that was used in Columbo. If was more than one dog, they used the same trainer, Ray Berwick.
