Plot

A dog watches a cartoon that says "when dogs get old their master's will shoot them." Elmer takes the dog hunting, but the dog believes he is going to be shot so he does everything he can to hurt Elmer first.

"Two go out, but only one comes back!" That's the conclusion Elmer Fudd's dog, Rover comes to after watching "The Dog Lover's Hour" TV show. It seems that, on this particular installment, the host plans to discuss heartless masters who kill their hunting dogs on trips after they have grown old and worn out their usefulness. Elmer, not knowing what's behind Rover's suddenly hostile, edgy demeanor, suggests the two go on a hunting trip--exactly what Rover doesn't want to hear. Fearing the worst, the paranoid pooch sets up a number of traps to kill off the unsuspecting Elmer. The ill-fated attempts include swiping Elmer's gun and shooting at him from afar, but killing a bear instead; releasing a wildcat on Fudd; and planting a land mine beneath where Elmer rests. Every time, Elmer thinks his dog is saving him from said catastrophies. Later at home, an injured Rover watches TV as another installment of "The Dog Lover's Hour" is set to air, sending the bow-wow over the edge; he runs off to the studio and attacks the show's host!—Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com>

Elmer Fudd's dog, Rover, is made to believe by a TV show that all dog owners are evil men who do away with their old, expired mutts by taking them on a one-way hunting trip. When Elmer suggests they go hunting, Rover automatically jumps to the conclusion that Elmer intends to put him down. So, when they set out on their hunting expedition, Rover decides to strike first at his master.—Kevin McCorry <mmccorry@nb.sympatico.ca>
