Comments

From Ryan : This is a better Pluto short than the previous one that I commented on. I enjoyed all the fun gags in this one. I can't remember all of them so I'll have to watch this short again. The censored scene (where Pluto is dunked under water for a short time) seems to be on the "Ink and Paint Club" version of this short. I don't understand why this was censored. I mean, they probably would have someone being dunked underwater on one of those stupid new shows like "Schnookums and Meat." Perhaps it was just deleted in order to fit within a certain time frame.

From Nikki : Like "Pluto's Playmate" it was good but it was more of a short teaching kids how to make friends with the apearance of the seal. Its quite entertaining filled with the gags but once again poor Pluto needs to be rescued again.

From Baruch Weiss : In this short Pluto is, like the title says, a Rescue Dog. I enjoyed the scene where Pluto and the seal are in an ice cave!

From Billy Joe : Pluto tries to be a good rescue dog in this cartoon, but he ends up trapped in the ice because he was harassing a seal. Pluto almosts drowns underwater, but the seal rescues Pluto. The cartoon's name should of been "Rescue Seal". This is another fun Pluto short. It gets a 9 out of 10.

I have seen "Rescue Dog" and would like to
