Very Clever, Very Funny
29 November 2007
This is a story I have seen elsewhere but I can't remember in which cartoon. The premise is the same: the little hero saves a dog from pain and the dog promises to be his guardian. In here, all Jerry has to do is ring a little bell and the dog will immediately come to his rescue and pulverize anything that's bothering him. You know who that will be - Tom! However, a new leash law on dogs may have given Tom a new leash on life (ouch.....sorry).

A few memorable sights include: Tom's head turning into a gum-ball machine; Tom testing the length of the leash on "Butch," to see if he's safe a certain distance away. (After the dog is tormented - with great sight gags - the dog gets clever and erases the "boundary" line and makes it closer, unbeknown to the cat.)

Very clever gags in here make this 1952 Tom and Jerry entry a real winner.
