I’m sure that if dogs could talk, they would rant and rave about their owners. And if they had none, they would try to make you want them. That is where my favorite cartoon dog comes in.
Charlie just wants a home, so you can feel for him. But the way he pesters his could-be owners? You can see why he has no place to call home. His most frequent sap is Porky, (who appeared in 3 of his 5 shorts) but he also tried to live with Colonel Shuffle. (The same adversary Bugs faced in “Mississippi Hare.”) Charlie is a great character and he really should have appeared more. He makes me both laugh, and sigh.
