The Chow Hound Dog (Looney Tunes)

The Dog is a one-shot character from the Looney Tunes short film series who made his only appearance in the 1951 cartoon, Chow Hound.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) To start off, he bosses around an innocent cat and a mouse into getting food for him.
 * 2) He is so obsessed with gravy that when the cat that he's picking on forgets it, he yells out "What, no gravy!?" and gives the poor feline a nasty beating.
 * 3) He is ungrateful whenever the cat brings him a steak, due to the previous reason listed above.
 * 4) When the mouse tries to stand up to him, he knocks him out with a tiny hammer.
 * 5) He pretends to return the cat to his three owners and yanks him away with a string at the last moment, and even pretends to capture him as a saber-toothed cat, just to get money, which proves that he's also sleazy and greedy.
 * 6) Following that, he then buys an entire meat market and lets his hunger and gluttony get the best of him when he proceeds to eat all of its contents.
 * 7) Even though he deserved it, his fate at the end of the short is quite morbid for a Looney Tunes cartoon, as he, while immobilized from the massive amount of meats he has consumed, gets force-fed gravy by the cat and mouse he has been bullying and presumably dies after the iris-out closes.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) As stated above, he only appeared in Chow Hound and never made another appearance in the Looney Tunes series again.
 * 2) Ignoring the dark subject matter of it, he does get his comeuppance at the end of the cartoon.
 * 3) His design isn't bad.
 * 4) John T. Smith does a good job doing his voice.
