Please help, how do I color a .gif

[BigTex]

Hello all,
I have a .gif animation. It's a bullbog running, the problem is that it's transparent and I'd like to color it brown with black stripes or just brown. I have both Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 7.0.

Can anyone please tell me how to color this .gif and please talk to me like I'm an eight year old.

Thanks,
Tex

when you say it's transparent do you mean the bulldog or the backround?

Hello diehard2231
both are, I was able to load it into Adobe ImageReady. It has a total of four layers in which three of them seemed to be locked. Any ideas?

Here's the original but once I colored it and put the team name behind it ("JunkYard Dawgs", it's for fantasy football) it only shows up as still frames. Now I'm stuck, anyone familiar with this?
