Plot
Marc Anthony is guarding a construction site when he spots a moving paper bag and begins barking at it. Pussyfoot comes out of the bag, and he barks at her. However, she is not afraid, believing that the dog is her friend. In reaction, Marc Anthony's emotions soften. Before returning to guard duty, he leaves Pussyfoot a sausage for her to snack on and she gratefully kisses him. However, trouble is ahead, thanks to a hungry alley cat who has seen the sausage and wants it for himself. Seeing the struggle, Marc Anthony catches on and beats up the cat. Then it becomes a cat and mouse game between the two as Marc Anthony does all he can to protect Pussyfoot and the sausage he gave her from the cat. The final confrontation ends with the cat stuck below on a magnet in a bucket, while Marc Anthony endures brief pain and barks out " Rock-a-bye Baby" as Pussyfoot makes herself comfortable before falling asleep. Relieved, the bulldog likewise falls asleep himself.Censorship
The original version of the cartoon showed a car driving by the construction site and throwing the bag out, which landed in the trash can (thus explaining why Pussyfoot was in both the bag and the trash can in the first place). This scene has been cut from all versions of the cartoon since the late 1980s.Home media
This cartoon is featured on Disc 4 of the '' Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 4''.References
