Comments

From Ryan : I like this short, but it really isn't one of my favorites. This is another short in which Pluto has a run-in with some coyotes. This time they are after Pluto's sheep. I did notice that one of the sheep in the flock was black while the rest were white. Is this supposed to symbolize something?

From Nikki : I find this one hilarious mainly because of the interactions between the dad and son coyotes. While the dad is starving and the son being also hungry seems like he is just there for fun. Its definitely a classic.

From Daniel : This was one of the shorts that I kept in my memory ever since I first saw it, back in my childhood. Maybe it got stuck in my memory because it was a delight to watch the little coyote spoiling every atempt of his father to grab a meal. I saw it again today and still made me chuckle and then laugh. To bad they aren't making cartoons like this today. They should be simple, cheerful and if they have to put a song in it, make it look like it belongs there.

I have seen "Sheep Dog" and would like to
