Elmer Fudd agrees to take care of his boss' dog in return for a promotion and finds he must treat the pooch as a human being.

Elmer Fudd hopes to receive a promotion by agreeing to take care of his boss' dog, Rupert, for a weekend. But Rupert thinks of himself as a human and expects to be treated as such. So, Elmer must patronize his canine guest by feeding him prime steak and letting him sleep in a human bed, while Elmer eats dog food and sleeps in a doggie bed. The next morning, Rupert drinks Bay Rum from Elmer's medicine cabinet and goes for a joy-ride in Elmer's car!—Kevin McCorry <mmccorry@nb.sympatico.ca>

Elmer Fudd's boss, Mr. Crabtree, pays a visit and wants him to look after his dog, Rupert, for the weekend. Elmer agrees, with his boss adding the punch line: "In my companies there are two ways to go...up (clears throat) or down!" Looking after the dog seems like an easy job...except that Rupert thinks he's a person and expects to be treated accordingly. Elmer ticks off Rupert by treating him like a dog and has to patronize his guest to keep him from phoning his master. The next morning, Rupert swallows Bay Rum from Elmer's medicine closet and gets drunk. Elmer tries to take the dog for a ride to sober him up, but Rupert gains control of the car and wildly speeds down the road. Both Elmer and pooch are jailed, forcing Mr. Crabtree to bail the two out. In the end, Mr. Crabtree makes good on his promise to send Elmer up...as in painting the flagpole on the top of the E.J. Crabtree skyscraper.—Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com>
