I first saw the film courtesy of a video tape that was mostly episodes of the Amos & Andy TV series with this one cartoon placed in the middle (though from a black & white Castle Films print). It's a nice tune and I recall singing it in music class back in elementary school!<br /><br /><b>LEND A PAW</b><br />I did sorta wonder who was this "Tailwagger Foundation" mentioned in the opening title. Best Google can give me is the address of this non-profit organization based in Oxnard, CA but that is all.<br /><br />It should noted this was also the year or such that Disney cartoons, while not having production credits yet placed at the beginnings of the shorts, started putting the MPDA approval logos in with the title cards. This lasted sometime between 1940-41 but stopped after that for some odd reason (deciding to stick the logo in with the main title card again).Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.com
